Heigham's first shot at the new format that will be introduced for their age group next season. 9 players, offsides and a bigger pitch with goals that are 7 feet high!

The first 9 v 9 game for the soon-to-be under 11s
Just a very brief match report and and some photos.
Heigham's first shot at the new format that will be introduced for their age group next season. 9 players, offsides and a bigger pitch with goals that are 7 feet high!
Taverham came straight out and scored, the Heigham players taken by surprise (Taverham have had a previous practice at this format). The side soon settled down and matched the visitors well from then on.
An unfortunate handball in the penalty area gave Taverham the chance to go 2 - 0 up. Ted got a hand to it with a fantastic dive, but couldn't make the save.
Heigham got lucky in the fourth quarter (they deserved more as they played a strong game) from a Taverham own goal and they nearly scored another to equalise towards the end.
All-in-all, a great practice session with the Heigham defence getting to grips with the offside rule and the players working really hard.
