Moston Brook AFC

Well as we have all found out this season Brook's U 12's have proved that they don't like to do things by half measures, and they certainly know how to keep their managers, and other club officials on their toes and full of adrenalin driven tension. This is exactly what this game was all about. They were pushing the boundaries on Tuesday evening after the 3 v 3 draw against Unsworth. This meant that the final decider was all on tonight's game for the league title winners to claim their prize.

They began the game a little shaky and were rocking the boat all over the place. It took 15 minutes before Michael Brewster was able to send a superb ball from his centre mid position through to the on running for Niall Rafferty to blast the beautiful right footed curler past the keeper and into the net to put Brook ahead 1 v 0.

It was certain that Whitworth were trying to do their friends in the Bury league a favour by trying to prevent Brook claiming the title. They knew exactly who to mark and were doing an extremely good job in closing down Brook's crucial players as soon as they got a touch of the ball. This looked like a totally different side to the one we met 2 weeks ago. Brook had a couple of near misses as they managed to get a few single shots on goal. But the half time whistle blew at 1 v 0.

After making a few changes and having a short team talk, Brook knew what they had to do to change the face of the game and get out in the second half and do the business.

As the second half began we immediately noticed that they had followed instructions well as they had upped their pace and tempo and began to play their game in their own usual style. Within minutes Darius received a clearance ball down the right wing from Craig Mckay. Darius kept possession as he charged through three challenging defenders before striking a master blaster shot right on the edge of the area. The ball ripped through the air like a rattling tornado before landing like a cannon ball in the top right hand corner of the net. Score 2 v 0.

5 minutes later Brook were awarded a corner kick after a shot from Kyle Hark was knocked out by the keeper. Michael Brewster took the kick, which found the eagerly awaiting Niall Rafferty to smash home his 2^nd of the day.

Jack Keightley who was having a tremendous game deserved to score the next magnificent goal in the 45^th minute. He produced a mean right footed swerver shot from just on the edge of the box, which curled its way around the keeper and into the back of the net to make it 4 v 0.

Next up was Mr strong alias Michael Brewster who was having a brilliant second half up front. Michael received a fantastic pass from Kallum Partington before taking on 2 players in the box and cheekily nut megging the keeper to claim Brook's 5^th.

Finally after a further handful of missed shots and with only 5 minutes to go Brook were awarded a last corner kick, which was taken, unusually by Reece Flynn.

Reece sent a fantastic ball into the box and first up was Kyle Hark, who made immediate contact with his head and blasted in the final Brook goal of the season.

The game ended 6 v 0.
