SCHOOLS' FOOTBALL - INTER DISTRICT MATCH
Played at Douglas Eyre Sports Centre on 19th October 2002
Hackney Under 11's 1, Orpington Under 11's 1
Hackney looked well on the way to their first win of the season after Okunu Olugu had given them a deserved lead at half-time.
The Holy Trinity School striker latched on to a through ball and rounded two defenders before firing a low left-foot drive into the corner of the net from eighteen yards.
But visitors Orpington played with more control in the second-half and although the pace of Akmolafe was always a threat for Hackney, the home side could not find the target again.
At the other end, Parkinson and skipper Smyth defended heroically but an Orpington equaliser came two minutes from time from close range.
Hackney Under 11's: Clarke, Eyles (Grazebrook), Henry-Sobers, Sankereh (St. Mary's), Parkinson, Moorse-MacDougall (Rushmore), Napier (Craven Park), Reid (Berger), Fallah (Kingsmead), McIlwham-Kynaston, Akomolafe (Daubeney), Olugu, James (Holy Trinity), Smyth, Capt. (William Patten), Sankereh (St. Mary's), Downing (Laburnum).
