Youth football: Glew holds Selsey together

A terrific contest between Selsey and Lancing saw both sides full of energy and desire.

The early part of the game found Selsey under intense pressure but resolute defending held the visitors at bay. Then against the run of play a wonderful through-ball by Cody Jackson sent Morgan Glew racing clear of a pack of defenders before calmly slotting past the goalkeeper.

A few minutes later it was 2 -0 to Selsey. Glew again found himself bearing down on the keeper before expertly drilling the ball past him into the net.

The final few seconds of the first half saw some sloppy defending from Selsey which allowed Lancing back into game with a simple goal.

The second half saw some great football from Selsey with the calm passing of Alfie Netlay-Harris and the lung-bursting runs of Alex Urraco Spencer down the wing.

It needed a great fingertip save in the dying seconds from Kaiden Parish to ensure Selsey hung on for victory.
