Youth football: Ten-second goal sets Avisford on way to win

It was a rain-reduced programme on the local youth football scene - but Avisford Youth and Chichester City Colts White weren't going to let it stop them getting points on the board.

UNDER-NINE

Avisford Youth 3 Arundel Colts 1

Avisford bounced back from their heavy cup loss to Pulborough to defeat an impressive Arundel side in a tight game at Rose Green.

The home side opened the scoring just ten seconds in, Layton Cummings pouncing on a defensive mistake to fire in what could possibly be one of the quickest goals of the season in any league.

The lead was doubled three minutes later in bizarre fashion. Jordan Wawrezewsia’s corner deflected off the Arundel defender covering his near post, Wawrezewsia being awarded the goal.

Avisford had several chances to extend their advantage but desperate defending and good goalkeeping kept Arundel in the game.

The rest of the first half belonged to the away side. They got the breakthrough their pressure deserved just before half-time and ended the first period well on top.

In an end-to-end second half, both sides missed a penalty as the rain worsened. Avisford sealed the three points when Finlay Brian’s shot from the edge of the area nestled in the bottom corner.

Man of the match was Alex Jones.
