North Wales Coast Development League: Three on bounce for Hotspur
NORTH WALES COAST DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE – REPORTS SUNDAY, AUGUST 31
WEST DIVISION
Holyhead Hotspur Development 5 Nantlle Vale Development 0
Three games, three straight wins for Hotspur by 8-0, 3-2 and 5-0 – a pretty good start to the season.
Sean Pritchard (2), Cameron Buckley, plus subs Myles Jones and Kane Astles scored a goal piece in the second-half sinking of Nantlle Vale at the New Stadium on Sunday.
Hotspur team manager Scott Hakesley talks us through the game….
“First week of the new season and our third game in seven days.
“On Sunday, we welcomed Nantlle Vale, a well-organised team who we expected to give us a tough contest. We wanted to finish the week with every player in the squad having game time.
“The game got underway and the wind played a massive part with ourselves struggling to get out of our half, but still creating one or two chances.
“The first 45 minutes played out as we expected and the lads did well to walk in with a clean sheet.
“Second half and formation change and we wanted to retain possession of the ball without forcing our play. I felt we controlled the second half with some lovely football played.
“We knew the goals would come and we started to open Nantlle Vale up.
“Goals arrived from a Cameron Buckley free kick, then some nice link up play with Myles Jones finishing off a great team move.
“Young Sean Pritchard, who led the line all day, bagged a quick double and then Kane Astles finished off the game to make it 5-0 to the home side.
“We’re really pleased with the first week together but so much to learn and improve on. MOTM went to Dan Mowbray – we felt he didn’t put a foot wrong when called upon.
“Special mention to 16 year old Louis Tatlock keeping a clean sheet today. We now train together and then travel to play Pentraeth on the 7th September. We’ve had great crowds for our first 3 games – thank you all.”
