Match Report From U12 Blacks Coach Peter Alligan........
🎄 Festive Finish! Hoddesdon Town Youth U12 Blacks Sign Off with a 3-1 Win 🎉
With the Christmas break just around the corner, Hoddesdon Town Youth U12 Blacks knew how important it was to end the year on a high—and they did just that with a hard-fought 3-1 victory over a strong Harlow Frontier side.
It might not have been our most polished performance, but the boys and girls dug deep, showed real character, and got the job done. Every player played their part in securing this crucial win, and the team spirit was off the charts!
🌟 Man of the Match – Jude J
A relentless force up top, Jude’s constant work rate made him an absolute handful for the opposition defence. His movement, energy, and footballing class were on full display. Well played, Jude!
🏅 Parents’ & Captain’s Player of the Match – George B
Thrown into a new role at the back, George stepped up in style! He was a rock in defence, outpacing attackers and reading the game like a seasoned pro. Outstanding shift, George!
🙌 Shoutout to Jessie Mae
For the second week running, Mae came to the rescue with a goal-line clearance that kept us in control. Calm, composed, and clutch—brilliant work, Mae!
💪 Shoutout to William
An aerial masterclass from William today—he won every single header. And we mean every one! Dominant in the air and a key presence throughout.
A massive well done to the whole squad. You’ve earned your break, and we can’t wait to go again in the new year. We press on! ⚽️
🎅 Merry Christmas from all of us at Hoddesdon Town Youth U12 Blacks!
