Driffield entertained Tickton at the Rec and served up a great hurricane, with Andy back between the sticks and dealing with everything thrown at him.
The defending pairing of Tom and Riley thwarting all Tickton attacks and the hard working trio of Ewan, Jack N and Harry creating opportunities for Driffield, along with the pace of Jack S upfront terrorising the Tickton defence.
Driffield had the better of the opening stages and it was not long before the first goal came when Jack S fired in from close range.
The second half started with Driffield making two changes with Morgan replacing Harry in midfield and Isaac coming on for Jack S.
Driffield carried on from where they left off in the first half, working hard and playing good football. It was not long before their patience paid off and got them the goal they deserved when Morgan played the ball through to Ewan who made no mistake with a calm, curling finish.
Driffield were now on the front foot with Isaac not giving the Tickton defence a moments rest. Driffield now brimming with confidence poured forward in numbers but could not force a third goal. Game ending 2-0.
Driffield went into the second game full of confidence after a great display in the first game.
With Riley now taking the reins in goal, the unbreachable defence of Tom and Morgan, the midfield routed with Jack S, Harry and Ewan all put in inspired performances and the lone striker of Isaac giving the Hurricanes a good outlet up front.
Driffield started the game brightly when an inspired run from Ewan ended with him putting a great ball into the box which fell at Isaac’s feet, who was unlucky only to find the keeper’s palms with a stinging effort.
This attack injected even more belief into the Driffield team and it was a just reward when Jack S fired home from a distance to find the Tickton goalie out of his goal.
Into the second half and Driffield made two changes with Andy coming on for Tom and slotting nicely into the defence and Morgan moving into midfield and Isaac making way for Jack N.
Driffield continued to put on a consistent display and soon found that second goal when Morgan cleverly slotted home from a tight angle. The game ended 2-0.
Driffield again were a pleasure to watch and played some excellent football. A special mention must go to Judith and the other mums for the after game food and cuppas – it was much appreciated, thank you ladies!
