A solid performance from Abingdon United as they beat Garden City 7-0 on Sunday at Northcourt Road.  Three handballs within five minutes produced a slow start but Abingdon soon took an early lead; a good cross from the right for Michael Organ who scored with a neat header from 3 yards. Good build up play with neat passing made it 2-0 with a cross/shot from Organ into the top left corner. Tom Larman struck soon after from 18 yards into bottom corner for the third goal just before half time.

The second half produced more excellent build up play; a fancy touch from Adam Foster allowed Joe Francis to cross from the left for Organ to claim his third goal of the afternoon. Abingdon were the awarded a penalty blistering run from Tom Coates into the box resulted in him being brought down. Coates stepped up and slotted the ball into the back of the net to make it 5-0. More excellent play from Coates won Abingdon a free kick which was delivered into the box for him to rise above his marker and head the ball into the back of the net at the back post. Some foul play from Garden City resulting in a red card for one of their players, who then proceeded to sulk off the pitch in an unsporting manner. Coates soon after gained his hatrick after a burst of pace beating the goalie to the ball and slotting away nicely.

Jonny Lloyd worked hard but was unable to find the scoring touch, Lewis Allen and Nino Merola formed an efficient partnership in central defence, despite not having much to do Jamie Mold was solid when called upon. Overall a good performance from the Under 16s, who are really starting to find good form having scored 16 goals in their last two matches.
