From the first whistle, the boys looked to play positively, getting the ball down and keeping possession well. It was therefore no surprise when Freddie P gave Hellesdon a deserved early lead. Shortly after, Hellesdon won a penalty which the Lynn Grove goalkeeper made a good save from. However, Hellesdon were not deterred as Harrison M and Archie W added further goals to give them control of the game at half time with a 3-0 scoreline.

The second half continued with Hellesdon on the front foot and the boys seem determined to score as many goals as they could. Freddie P, Harrison M and an emphatic strike from Archie W doubled their individual goal tallies and also the teams. Cody E added a seventh before Freddie P completed his hat-trick with around 15 minutes left. There was still time for Noah S, Zaki M and Cam B to add their names to the scoresheet (and another missed Hellesdon penalty!) with the final score ending up 11-0 to Hellesdon.

It was an all-round superb performance from the boys and they can now look forward to the next round against Benjamin Britten High School.
