Last Thursday saw us take our Y7 & Y8 football teams to South Holderness for their first fixtures of the season. South Holderness are a very big school and it is always difficult to compete against such big schools. Our Year 8 side started really well against last years undefeated national champions and created two or three early opportunities to score first. Unfortunately chances were spurned and the home side took control. Goals began to leak in and a second half spell saw Withernsea concede 6 goals in 10 minutes. Sam Mason struck twice late on but the final score was South Holderness 10 - 2 Withernsea.
Year 7 faired better and but for some questionable refereeing could have won the game. It was an even contest that saw South Holderness score first before Withernsea equalised and then nudged in front. With time up the score was SH 3-4 Withernsea but an incredible ten minutes of 'injury' time allowed SH to equalise with the last kick of the game. The final score SH 4 - 4 Withernsea.
