Well, almost! Wyrley Colts started their new season in the Bilston Partnership Youth Football League with two excellent wins, following a fantastic 5-2 midweek friendly win over Willenhall Colts.
Wyrley Colts 5 – 0 Springvale Cougars
The Colts played a superb passing game, with a solid midfield and marksman-like shooting from both strikers, with excellent counter attacks by our defence. Shots on target were flying in thick and fast, and the scoreline should have been 10 or 12 goals had it not been for some excellent goalkeeping from Springvale.
Wyrley Colts 4 – 2 Wednesfield Lions
Fierce rivalry ensued throughout this match with Colts playing their old club, Wednesfield. The match was fircely contested, with every single Colts player giving 200%. With the match drawn 2-2 at half time, the Colts came out like men possessed and played some of the finest football ever, pin-point accurate passing, some good old-fashioned tackling and a will to win it for Wyrley.
Words cannot describe how proud we are of our team, who played their football firm and fair.
Congratulations Colts, here’s to the next 39 weeks of the football calendar!
