Match Summary
Rotherham’s relentless pressing and determination, exemplified by Jacob Weston’s assist to Olly Boyd, secured a 1-0 victory despite an outstanding performance by Stockport’s goalkeeper.
A brilliant advert for schoolboy football in what was a fiercely contested match.
rotherhams press and eagerness to win 1st & 2nd balls was the main difference between the teams, with Stockport’s keeper having an excellent game to keep the score at 1-0.
The goal typified Rotherham’s willingness to work hard, with Jacob Weston not giving up on a ball that looked dead to cut back to Olly Boyd, who dispatched one into the top corner, the only way it looked like the Stockport keeper was going to get beat.
Player of the Match: Olly Boyd – a close choice from the ref between Olly Boyd and Zac Jones. Both were excellent physically and in the air, the ref went with Olly for the match winner but Big Z was also excellent.
