You mean, Arsenal's team was better organised; had some kind of game plan..?

I know that the under 14s lost 4-0. My brother (Neal Osborn) is one of their keepers.

How did they get on? I saw on the website we were playing them but havent heard anything on how they got on..

Last Thursday I had the privilege of watching our under 10, under 11 and under 14 Academy teams play Arsenal's Academy teams.

Huge test for our lads against some supremely talented players but a great experience and something to aspire too.

Well done lads.
