Andover under-12 Boys 5 Petersfield under-12 Boys 7: PETERSFIELD under-12 Boys continued their good run when they visited Andover on Sunday.

An early goal from Andover served only to fire up Petersfield, with Welsh threading a ball into the path of Slingsby who wasted no time in slotting Petersfield’s first past the Andover keeper. More inch-perfect passes from Welch assisted Slingsby in his clinical conversion of Petersfield’s second and third goals.

Not satisfied with Petersfield’s narrow 3-2 lead, Hill ran onwards to reverse strike Petersfield’s fourth goal. After a robust response from Andover, M White weaved into the offensive zone and darted into the D for an impressive individual goal. Hill then drilled home Petersfield’s sixth goal from a Slingsby cross, before Welch received the ball five yards out and claimed his place on the scoresheet and Petersfield’s seventh goal.

With a 7-3 scoreline, Andover put Petersfield under severe pressure in the final period. The hosts eventually clawed two goals back, making the final result a 7-5 win to Petersfield.
