Alveston U11's crashed to a disappointing 5-2 defeat at title rivals Mount Nod. In difficult conditions it was Alveston who started more confidently, with Alex Connor a threat down the left and Harry Spencer probing through the middle as they started to create chances. Alveston took the lead when Joe Vose released Roshen Foley down the right and his cross was met by Alex connor who finished with aplomb. Alveston suffered a blow when their top scorer Josh Humphriss had to go off injured.
The game remained close until a 5 minute spell mid way through the first half decided the game. Mount Nod's equaliser came when a free kick was headed on from the edge of the area and somehow found it's way into the roof of the net. This seamed to knock Alveston's confidence and within a minute a hopeful shot from the left hand corner of the area managed to squirm under the body of Isaac Downes and crept in at the near post.
Alveston fell further behind before responding with a well struck Billy Dingley shot from the edge of the area. However, more sloppy work at the back handed the home team their fourth. Alveston started the second half well and put the home defence under pressure. The introduction of Alan Mackinnon created a threat down the right as he put in some crunching tackles, which seemed to galvanise the players. On one of the few occasions they got the ball down, they opened up the home defence, Alan Mackinnon played the ball inside to Alex Connor who delivered a sublime ball through to Joe Vose, who cooley slotted the ball past the advancing keeper. The home side killed the game off isaac downes could only palm a speculative shot into the net.
