Evan's Heroics Can't Save Larbert U-13's

Earlier this week, Larbert High School’s U-13 football squad were in for a challenge as they were facing the dominate Graham High school who were sitting comfortably at the top of the table. Larbert played a strong squad but were missing key players and had to bring in reserves. Larbert were always going to struggle but with Larbert’s goal keeper Evan Taylor on scintillating form they managed to keep themselves in the game. In the end Graham showed why they are a performance school winning 6-0 keeping them comfortably at the top of the table.

The game started brightly with Graham creating many chances but some great early saves from Evan Taylor denied the performance school from scoring early on.

 It wasn’t long before Graham struck the net for the first time when they scored a standard 6 yard tap-in into the bottom left hand corner, un-saveable for Evan Taylor.

Graham bagged a few more goals before the half making it 4-0 at half time.

Graham make it 2-0 after a well taken penalty.  It was a tough night for the U-13's despite heroics from Evan Taylor

The Larbert midfield in the second half had clearly given themselves a shake, beginning to cope with the pace of the Graham High attack. The hard work and team work of Larbert was starting to come into play and the boys were creating more chances than the first half.

 

Graham took this as a warning and stepped up their game again scoring 2 more goals, which the keeper couldn’t prevent. Evan Taylor was on top of his game and if it wasn’t for him the score could have been a lot greater for Graham.

 

So at the end of the match Graham had earned 3 points, showing their dominance and why they are a performance school.

Despite the fact of conciding 6 goals we’ve given the man of the match to Larbert’s keeper Evan Taylor for pulling of some great saves and denying Graham time and time again.
