Dereham Town Youth U10 Whites v Old Catton: Dereham started the brightest and on two minutes Callum Hardy-Sampson opened the scoring from close range after an excellent Lewis cross from the left. Catton piled on the pressure but Matty commanded his area well and with Ryan playing it cool as ever, Chrisztian’s hard tackling & Oscar’s never say die attitude it was looking comfortable. However on 10 minutes it all changed as Old Catton scored from close range to make it 1-1. On 15 minutes Old Catton scored from a corner kick, despite a great effort again from Matty to try and keep the ball out. In the second half, with Hardy back on the pitch Dereham were lifted. On 25 mins Ryan played the easy ball out to Hardy who dribbled through the Catton defence only for the ball to pea roll to the keeper and with a massive stroke of luck he let the soft shot go through his body to just cross the line to make it 2-2. Hardy again ran at the defence but this time was fouled 15 yards out. Up stepped Ryan who struck a beauty of a shot into the top left hand side to make it 3-2.
