Today we came up against Whipton Youth who have a 100% record this season. Following our defeat against Millwey we set up with a strong defensive formation. This worked well with the visitors being limited to shooting from long range. We broke away and created good chances. At half-time we were up 2-1 after sublime skills and finishing from Joe G and Kuba S.
As the second-half progressed Exmouth continued to hold their shape and keep Whipton at bay. However, the visitors eventually broke through to equalise. With 5 minutes to go it was all even but a clever turn and shot from the Whipton winger put them ahead. United pushed more men up front to chase the equaliser and Whipton exploited the space to grab two more before the final whistle.
An excellent performance left the boys wondering what they need to do to get a point. Afterwards, they can reflect on the improvement over the previous match and know that 5-2 was a very harsh scoreline given the way they had played. Thanks to those Under 10s boys that helped us out from the sub's bench today: Ben, Nat, Harry and the two Finns.
