Heading into the game on the back of two fine victories, Arthur Terry Year 8's came up against a very well-organised and energetic Perry Beeches side who were there to win. AT were without influential captain Morgan McSheffrey, though he was the only absentee from the side.
Man of the Match Jonathan Grigg opened the scoring with a superb individual strike from 20 yards. Those who know Jonathan will know he does not score ordinary goals, and this one was no exception! The right-sided midfielder firing a superb strike across the Goalkeeper and into the top corner for 1-0.
Well done lads!
