Youth Team Off To Flying Start In Sweden

Posted on: Sun 26 Jul 2009

Pools Youth Team have got off to a flying start in the LFE Tournament in Sweden, winning both of their first two games.

On Saturday they eased past IFK Sundvall 3-1, thanks to goals from Paul Johnson (2) and Jordan Richards during an accomplished performance.

And earlier today they walloped a second Swedish outfit OFK, registering an astonishing 7-0 victory to leave Micky Barron delighted.

Daniel Johnson led the way in the rout helping himself to a hat-trick, while Chay Liddle, Anthony Wakefield, Callum Hassan and trialist Andrew Sullivan all got on the scoresheet.

"I'm really pleased with the boys and what they have done over here so far," Barron told us.

"They've shown a really good work ethic and they've been rewarded for that with two very good performances and results.

"The team looks to have a great shape to it and we're creating lots of chances - we could have scored seven in our first game too with a bit more luck in front of goal.

"Overall though I am very pleased and now we need to keep building on the good work we've already done," he added.

The team will have a rest day on Monday which the lads will take advantage of by going Go Karting in the afternoon.

They will then return to action with their third game of the competition when they take on Swedish top flight side AIK at 1pm on Tuesday.

"The next game will definitely be our hardest," Barron admitted.

"We watched them play yesterday and they were very impressive so we'll have to be at our best again if we want another victory.

"The tour so far has been superb, the facilities are excellent and the location is ideal - we were even swimming in a lake as a cool down session yesterday!"

We'll continue to bring you coverage from the Youth Team's Swedish tour so keep an eye out on Tuesday for news of how the boys go on against AIK.
