Sunday 11th October saw the U10 boys’ first tournament of the season. Venue was at Home,
Nonsuch, P.B was 12.15.

The weather was bright and clear and the boys were excited to get started. However, by the end of
the first half of the first match they were 0-3 down to a strong side from Wimbledon ‘A’. After a
motivational team talk from Frosty at half-time, the Cheam boys came back fighting, hungry for a
win. They battled really well and with some fantastic passing and accurate strikes at goal the full
time score was 3-3.

The second match was against Addiscombe. The Cheam boys again worked really well as a team and
at half time the score was 1-0 to Cheam. Cheam continued to attack well in the second half and
despite the Addiscombe Goalkeepers skill and best efforts 3 more goals hit the back of the net
making the final score 4-0 to Cheam. Well done the Cheam Goalkeepers for keeping a clean sheet.

The final match saw Cheam pitted against the unbeaten Wimbledon ‘B’. Our boys were buoyant
going into this match but by no means over confident. It was a very even paced match with action
shared between both halves of the pitch. There was nail biting parents watching on the side lines
from both teams. Cheam had the advantage of a fully padded (albeit novice) Goalkeeper, whilst
Wimbledon decided to play without one and play the advantage of an extra attacker. Teamwork
from Cheam was again great to see, both attacking and defending, and the final score was 3-1
Cheam.

Special mention to GoalKeepers Riley and Sawyer. This was their first taste of playing in goal at a
tournament. Well done to both boys.

Also Goal scorers Anthony, Loic, Dan, Oscar and Luke.

Man of the Match – whole team.
