Our U12 squad travelled to Lostock to play Bolton Wanderers FC U12's. It was always going to be tough playing Pro club opposition and a great experience to play 11 a side for the first time on a superb grass surface. Bolton started brightly and soon showed their power and quality. Airbus were excellent out of possession and worked tirelessly to prevent the opposition from getting behind us. We conceded a couple of goals in either half but the performance in the 2nd half far exceeded the 1st in terms of progress, as the players became comfortable with their distances and were able to look to play with confidence in possession. Matches such as these show the squad the levels that we wish to reach and to match them for a large period of the match was pleasing to watch. Very proud of all the squad tonight and it was a worthwhile experience playing away against quality opposition. Well done everyone.
