UNDER 12 YELLOW

This was billed as the clash of the season for Bradford Blue and Bradford White. The teams were evenly matched so it was a close and exciting contest from the kick off.

The game started at a fast pace with Mark Daniels scoring first from an angled shot for the White's. Gabriel Nathan added another goal for the Whites halfway through the second half. Two goals down, Bradford Blue now had to throw caution to the wind and go for all out attack and after the White's failed to clear the line Lewis Jones scored for the Blue's at close range.

Home side Bradford Town Youth dominated for long periods against Westbury but the visitors exhibited a fine defensive performance.

Westbury could consider themselves very unlucky not to come away form the game with at least a point as they came close to scoring twice. Mid-way through the first half a break away saw Johnny Tribick attacking a through ball and lifting it over the advancing keeper unfortunately the effort did not have quite enough pace on it and a Bradford defender was able to race back and clear his lines. In the second half, as Westbury got a little stronger, an attack ended with a shot hitting the base of the Bradford post. Bradford scored with five minute left as a speculative long shot looped into the top corner the scorer promptly being booked for racing around the pitch with his shirt off.
