After the weather decimated December, the two Tigers u-9 teams resumed the season against each other. If the last game was good, this one was closer and more exciting with the final result in doubt right up to the last minute.
Tigers B got off to a flyer, when Hannah Spray scored a goal after only 30 seconds and they kept hold of the lead for the rest of the period with some fine defending. Tigers A equalised at the start of the second period when captain Warren How fired home from long range but soon after Tigers B went 2-1 up when after a fast break Arran Tiwana produced a powerful finish from close range
Just before the end of the period Adam Sutton intercepted a ball out of defence before finding the bottom corner of the net to make it 2-2.
It wasn’t until the last period when two more goals by Adam Sutton in just over a minute took Tigers A clear for the first time in the game. However, Tigers B continued to battle and they reduced the deficit to one and made for a tense finish when Arran Tiwana scored his second of the game from a tight angle. The outcome was finally settled in the last minute with a goal from Araan Derakhshan.

L 0 - 2 |
This was the first ever meeting of the two U9 Tigers teams and Tigers B came into this game after giving a good performance away to unbeaten Sawston.
With local pride at stake this was always going to be a highly competitive game and so it turned out. All four periods of the game were hard fought with Tigers A ultimately emerging victorious with a narrow 2-0 win thanks to goals after 5 and 28 minutes.
The first goal was hooked in from close range by Araan Derakhshan from a corner by Irvin Galbraith. The second goal came when a defence splitting pass by Adam Sutton found Harry Howe in space and he produced a calm finish past the keeper.
There were a number of other chances for either side and Tigers B were unlucky on a few occasions, particularly from corners. The closing down and effort shown by all was a credit to both teams.
