Couple minutes left switched to 1 at the back, GT ball to SS over the top, brilliant control let it go through his legs and flicked it in with his back foot. Brilliant football by both teams.

Matchday 9 - 20/12/2020 U10'S Safari lost 5 2 - really good game of football to watch both teams and referee enjoying a good atmosphere 1 0 down at half time equalised beginning of second goal from George then went to sleep for 5 minutes conceding 4 quick goals. Woke up again and scored to make it 5 2 penalty by George had our chances to get a couple more with Ashton and Ethan coming close finished 5 2 probably a fair result but a great performance against a brilliant side who started off last season as a division 1 side so plenty of positives to show we can hold our own in the division we're in now. POTM George for his hard work and determination to win the ball back.

Matchday 5 - 25/10/2020 Derby Day! Safari played Jungle away today - coming out on top in the end.
