On Sunday 24 July 2011 under cloudless kies Bessacarr Under 13's took a squad of 14 to play a three half friendly against Mexborough Rovers at Mexborough's Swinton Comp ground - Joe, Nathan, Connor, Tom, Liam F, Jack B, Mark, Liam K, Alex, Max, Jordan, Steven, James and Jamie B made up the numbers.

In the first half the visitors played up the slope and succumbed 2-0 in what turned out to be an even contest. A low hit free kick and an unmarked header right at the death proved Bessacarr's undoing.

In the second half playing with the slope Bessacarr dominated to run out 3-0 winners.

The final half ended 2-2 with Joe producing a memorable penalty save. Mr Pinkney senior commented 'that penalty spot looks very close to the goal' and 'don't those goals look big?' and with everyone fearing the worst Joe pulled off an excellent save - well done Joe.

Todays goal scorers were Max 2, Liam K 1, Jordan 1 and James 1.

Next training will take place at Cantley Park on Saturday 30 July 2011 9.00am - 10.15am. On Sunday 31 July 2011 we are due to play a friendly at home against Wheatley Warriors. In accordance with tradition I am sure Mr Rankine will have fired up his charges for a big performance - so a competitive game in store for sure!
