Higham Colts kick off with a bone chilling wind across the pitch,
 
Panthers are soon on the attack and Henry soon scores only to be ruled out by the ref, a great tackle from will is taken on by David, a short pass sees Louis shoot at goal, another quick attack sees David set up Henry who scores, Panthers really have their passing game going today and another great pass from Louis sets David up who scores in the bottom corner.

Higham have an attack which is dealt with by Adam, another short pass from Will to Chloe to David to Louis who sets up Henry who scores a fantastic team goal, all the action is in the Higham half with Louis on a great run beats 3 Higham players and only a great save denies Louis a goal, another attack from Higham is dealt with by Will and Chloe who formed a strong partnership at the back allowing the three forwards to pile on the pressure, with Louis strong running, David’s passing and Henry's eye for goal. Henry soon scored his third goal finishing off another four pass move.

The Panthers are playing very well, a quick break from Higham sees Adam make a good save, Adam looks very sharp in goal and soon sets up another attack as the ref blows for half time
 
Half time sees David going in goal with Adam going upfront, and Spencer on for Chloe

The second half starts like the first half with Louis showing a different side to his game with some great set up play sets up Henry who scores again.

Panthers again on the attack with Adam flying down the wing crosses for Louis whose first time shot goes just wide, an attack from Higham is cleared by Spencer and sets will up who goes on a good run, a great tackle from Adam is taking on by Louis who crosses for Henry who scores again.

David is called in to action and collects the ball from the Higham player a quick set up sees Adam on the run again, this time a quick one too and a shot, the Panthers are playing some great football pass and move a delight to see.

Henry is subbed in the last minute to take a deserved standing ovation Henrys five goals set up by his team mates passing skills and all five put away with great confidence.

The ref blows his whistle the players shake hands and the Panthers congratulate themselves on what was probably their performance of the season over a very strong Higham Colt’s team.
