Arnold Town U19 0-1 Carlton Town Academy

Venue: Eagle Valley, Arnold. U19 League Division II


There's a reason why these two clubs are struggling in the league - a severe lack of goals. Arnold had netted just twice in their previous six outings, whilst Carlton had failed to open their "goals for" account in the five games they have played.

So, between them they have scored twice in 11 games - never going to be a goal fest, was it!

The players showed plenty of enthusiasm and endeavour, and both defences were pretty solid - but in all honesty neither defence was troubled overmuch. 

The only goal of the game came in the third minute of second half stoppage time, and like the game, it wasn't a classic! ELLIOTT GODDARD had had a decent enough game in the Millers' midfield, and it was he who fought his way through the crowded six yard box to get to the ball and bundle it home at the back stick, after the home defence had failed to clear a corner from the left. Not much else to say really! F-T 0-1
