Pershore Town; Results Round-Up
Once again we take a moment to go through the scores at Pershore Town Football Club over the past week.
On Wednesday evening, Mike Bishop's Floodlit Under 18's travelled into Herefordshire to take on a much fancied Hereford FC Under 18's. Archie Duffy had given The Plums an early lead but was pegged back just minutes later for a game that remained 1 - 0. Both sides felt they did enough to win the game but neither could find the winner.
Onto Saturday and before taking up their role as First Team mascots, our Under 8's enjoyed a very good game of football with Broadway. There was a double for Harry for Tim Brown's side in this one.
AJ Mountain's Under 11's faced a difficult game against last season's Cup Finalists, Oldbury Park Tigers. Harry S and Cameron both managed to get themselves on the scoresheet.
The Under 11 Bullets' also had a tough game on their hands against Alcester Town, despite a goal from Jack it didn't prove enough to progress in the cup competition.
There was a win for our Under 12's over Alcester Town Rangers. Pershore were woken up after going 2 - 0 down to The Romans although responded to level the score at 2 - 2 for half time. Second half was an improved performance which saw Pershore run out 5 - 2 winners; Charlie helped himself to a brace whilst Anthony, Dara and Troy also added to the scoreline.
Jason Neville was quick to suggest a mistake on his part saw his Under 12 Bullets defeated 4 - 2 against Tewkesbury Town Pumas. Ben and James both scored for The Plums but the game got away from a hard working Pershore side who had taken the lead twice in the game.
Our Under 13's ran riot against Honeybourne Harriers, running out 12 - 2 winners after only leading 4 - 2 at half time. A reaction second half after taking on board the coaches information and details saw eight goals without reply.
