Barnet U18s clinch a solid 3-1 victory over their Stevenage counterparts on Saturday morning.
The Young Bees went into the break 2-0 up at half-time, having put in an excellent first-half performance and given us a great platform.
Early into the second half, we unfortunately conceded an own goal, giving Stevenage a way back into the game. But this is where the character of this group really showed.
There was no panic, no heads going down and no loss of belief. The lads stuck together, showed real resilience and continued to work for each other, eventually adding a third goal to put the game beyond doubt.
Full-time: Barnet 3–1 Stevenage.
Ashleigh Hopkins PDP Lead Phase Coach, Hopkins – What a performance from the lads today! We couldn’t have asked for much more from this group. Every single player was brilliant, showing quality, determination, togetherness and a real desire to win.
So proud of the character, mentality and attitude shown by every single one of the lads today. Football will always throw challenges your way, but it’s how you respond that defines you as a team.
Today showed exactly what this group is about. Togetherness, hard work, belief and a winning mentality.
Enjoy the victory, lads. You’ve earned it!
