JERSEY’S under-11s notched up their second win in the 34th Primary Schools’ Football Festival yesterday – 1-0 against Newbury A at the FB Fields.
Jack Gibson scored the only goal, the youngster’s 18-yard rising shot beating Newbury’s goalkeeper in the centre of the goal.
Jersey coach Rob Cameron said: ‘It was a good win, Newbury are a strong side as we drew 1-1 with them on tour recently.
‘I thought we played really well, we looked solid throughout in a fairly even game with Johnny Le Quesne and Scott McClurg excelling in the centre of our defence.
‘Newbury have won a lot of games this season and to beat them is a good result because the previous day they defeated Plymouth – another side expected to do very well this week.’
So it’s two wins in two games for Jersey as on Sunday they opened their account by defeating Hackney 4-0.
Jersey squad: Euan Van Der Vliet, Connor Spence, Jack Gibson, Johnny Le Quesne, Francis Lekemamati, Keiran Queree; Jamie Hamilton, Philip Maguire, Paul Hickling, Tom Ward, Ryan Couillard; Daniel McFarlane, Callum Le Brocq, Keiran Bone, Scott McClurg and Nicolai Hansen.
