Under-13 | Wednesday 4-1 SUFC Junior Blades

A fantastic result for the Owlesses today.

The Owlesses were clinical in front of the goal and were able to turn things around and go into half-time 2-1 ahead.

Wednesday grabbed another goal to complete a fantastic play, before producing some stunning football skill to round off the scoring and seal a well-deserved 4-1 victory.

Overall, a brilliant team performance and another step in the right direction.

To go behind early, settle themselves, stick to their style of football and come away with a convincing win shows the Owlesses character and confidence growing within this group, Plenty of positives to take away.
