City more than a match for their academy opponents

City's under 14s visited the cat 2 academy set up at Swindon Town Football Club after an invite from the academy manager Jeremy Newton.

After expected pressure from the Swindon team City weathered a frantic 10 mins or so where the very talented swindon number 7 was making direct runs to get in behind the City left back.
But city as a defensive unit stood strong with the excellent Declan Haden in goal making a couple of great saves and along with some excellent distribution reset the play very well as instrucetd by the coaches by playing from the back.
City slowly found their feet and started to move the ball well in their usual style, but were as expected closed down quickly and therefore required the city lads to increase their tempo in the pass and the movement, anyone dwelling on the ball was swiftly put on their backsides or dispossesed.

City created many good chances but the swindon defence looked pretty solid, the game was played over 80 mins and it last late ito the third part of the game that City pounced with a super move from left to right to release Tom williams to find himself 1v1 with the keeper and slot calmly underneath the swindon keeper 0-1 City.

City could have added more to the total after some great opportunities created, but the score remained 0-1 to city.

The Swindon Coaches complimented the worcester coaches on the organisation of the team the set up and the coaching style and were impressed that the way the group of players on the day performed and carried out instruction.

there was an excellent performance from the whole squad but a few individuals deserve praise as potential men of the match
