Clough
U7 Red team showed
how much they have improved with a 4-0 win over a Rothwell Town U7 team with
a good reputation. Clough were magnificent in defence restricting Town to
few chances. Goalkeeper Sam Isles, Alex Newsome, Josh Harland and MoM Taylor
Goldthorpe defended courageously keeping a fifth clean sheet in a row.

Rothwell in their tracks. Early chances for Clough went painfully close but
Niall Walker split Rothwell defence and fired low into the net. Josh Foster
added a second before half time. Town’s best effort hit the post and Sam
Isles threw himself on the loose ball (to keep that all important clean
sheet). Good play in midfield by Alex Newsome helped created chances for
Ethan Yardley to add two more goals.

a tense 1-0 victory over Rothwell Town. Early play saw both teams have
chances. Ben Rhodes and Connor Wood tested Town’s Keeper. Clough defence was
solid with James Butterworth, Andrew M, and James M tackling well. Clough
had the better second half heaping pressure on the Town defence. A great
midfield run by Josh Walton set up Jordan Crossley to score from close
range. Keeper Callum Haynes parried a shot at full stretch late on and MoM
was Josh Walton for running his heart out.
