Under-12 White | Wednesday 1-7 AFC Pogmoor
A tough day for our under-12s white against Pogmoor (Red) who are one of the high-flying teams in our division.
Unfortunately, Wednesday faced them without their keeper and went down 7-1.
Even though the Owlesses were significantly depleted, the team did have several really good spells throughout and kept going to the end, with many positives to be taken there.
Hopefully back to full strength next week as the Owlesses travel to Crosspool and definitely looking for a bounce-back result.
A great team effort with the Owlesses taking much to learn and continue their hard work.
