The U9’s kicked off their new season in the Chiltern Church Junior League competing in the Lynxes Division.

With the Coaches’ emphasis for the season to develop and enhance the children’s football skills, irrespective of the result, this was a good start to the season. A fine all round performance from the team, with a good attacking performance, good passing, good possession and support play was displayed. Defensively while the tackling was enthusiastic, the team was not particularly tested.

The Buffalos, In spite of the result, played the match in a great spirit, their heads never dropped, a testament to their Coaches, a trait hopefully the Westwood Park U9’s will display win or lose over the coming season.

Reviewer’s man of the match: Matthew Jones for a good all round performance cumulating in his first ever hat trick.
