Academy give Manor a Fright

 

Jets Academy 5 Tokyngton Manor 7

21st October 2009

Jets young side dipped their colours 7 - 5 after a fantastic fightback against Tokyngton Manor.

Jets, a goal down in the first minute, quickly fell 4-0 behind and a thrashing looked ominous.

But then, three goals in a four minute spell, one by CALLUM HEATH and a brace by LEO PASCOULIS, pulled Jets back to 3-4 at the break.

Jets immediately took the game to Manor and levelled at 4-4 through JACK KEEBLE.

A spectacular strike from LEWIS COOK in the 56th minute edged Jets into the lead and a tremendous result looked possible.

Jets then, however, seemed content and paid a heavy price allowing Manor to score three times in fifteen minutes to win the match 7-5.

There is definitely promise in this young Jets side, and their ability to get back into the game after an ugly start bodes well for the future.
