With the sun shining on the EA stadium in Clevedon North Somerset RTC U12’s welcomed Gloucester City for their first home game of the season.

After a slow first 5 minutes full of what appeared to be nerves the game settled down with NS taking control of possession and dictating the play. This soon developed into the first well-deserved goal of the game for NS that was shortly followed by a second. NS continued to play confident football against a Gloucester City team full of determination and drive.

The second quarter continued as the first ended with NS making the most of the possession adding another 2 to the score sheet. Gloucester City came close striking a free kick from just outside the area agonisingly wide.

The third quarter saw some scrappy play from both sides that by this stage were feeling the effects of the unexpected warm weather. Gloucester City capitalised on another free kick opportunity from just outside the box by slotting home into the bottom corner leaving the NS keeper with very little chance.

To both teams credit the quality once again picked up in the fourth quarter however with players starting to tire goal opportunities were becoming more and more frequent. A further two chances were converted by NS taking the full time score to 6-1

An enjoyable morning of football with determined performances from both teams!
