After being knocked out of the National cup , the Y11 football team turned their attention to the County cup in a first round tie away at Kingsbury school.
The boys in maroon were fired up from the very start in a bid to move through to the next round by winning every header and beating their opponent to every ball.
Some silky footwork from Raj P-F saw the midfielder brought down on the 10 minute mark. The NCS talisman L Stanley stepped up to the free kick and struck it hard and low into the bottom right corner from 30 yards.
Soon after Stanley doubled the visitorsā lead. This time exploiting the right side of his opponents defence, striking the ball well with his left foot to beat the keeper.
Excellent team play and accurate passing allowed Mason F to add a third after cutting in from the left hand side and placing the ball into the net with his right foot.
At 3-0 Lewis D saw his opportunity to get on the score sheet and tried his luck from 30 yards. Fortune was on his side as the goalkeeper fluffed his lines and allowed the ball to slip through his hands.
After half time, Dylan D was able to capitalise from a corner floated in by Josh N, with a bullet header Dylan found the top right corner to make the score 5-0.
The score was soon 6-0 when Josh N cut in from the right hand side of the pitch and struck the ball sweetly with his right foot. The keeper managed to get finger tips on the ball in order to send it onto the post. However, the keepers efforts merely saw the ball end up in the back of their net for the sixth time. The NCS team were unable to keep a clean sheet as they switched off in the final minutes of the game in order to allow Kingsbury a consolation goal. However it is the boys in maroon that were able to put up their feet over the Christmas break knowing that they are in the quarter final of the county cup!
FINAL SCORE 6-1
