	Middleton Rangers U11's 20 V Cargo Fleet 0 Table toppers Middleton turned on the style today with a perfect performance. Blistering in attack, competitive across the midfield , and their defence stood like the rock of Gibraltar. However , credit must go to Cargo Fleet who from the very start, to the end, kept going and fighting, never once letting their heads drop. In terrible ice cold weather conditions Middleton took the game to Cargo hitting nine goals in an impressive first half. Some of Midldetons passing sequences were awesome, and the speed of their forward movement was a delight to see. The scorers were - Will Hughes , Mitchell Armin, Lucca Dunn , Joe Abbott , Jake Richardson 3, Aaron Chapman 2.

A momentary lapse in concentration by Middleton followed, that allowed Hardwick to pull level for a half time score of 1-1.
