U9 Football v Froebelian
On Monday 10th October the U9s played football against Froebelian. BGS showed great promise with some great running from Callum, Toby and Will and a few chances went just past the post. Against the run of play Froebelian score two goals in the space of 5 minutes to go into the break 2-0 up. BGS came out in the second half showing great determination and support for each other. Vincent made a couple of good saves and Archie backed him up well in defence. Toby then scored a good goal. Kit then followed that with a goal soon after to level the score. After a lot of chances on both sides Froebelian scores the winning goal in the last few minutes. Great game, great team improvement.

U11 A team v Brackenfield
On Wednesday 12th October BGS Under 11's A team went down to the games field to play a match against Brackenfield. In the first half we played well it was a tie at 3-3 with goals scored by Will King, George Beeley and myself. In the second half we played fantastically with lots of passing and shots on target. Will King took a shot which bounced off a defender's face into the goal, which meant it was an own goal and a score of 4-3! In the last ten minutes of the match Robert Davies got the ball and scored a great goal, which smacked into the bottom corner of the goal taking the score to 5-3. We fought on through the last 5 minutes of the game, it was tough, but we managed to hang on to a great win. We were very happy with this result. Special mentions go to Robert and Edward Garnett for great defending, with the team overall playing very well.
