ADULTS at Horley Lawn Tennis Club were taught a lesson by juniors in a football match to raise money for a new clubhouse.

They won the game at Oakwood School 2-1.

Both sides started out tight and organised, with both defences on top and neither keeper having to make serious saves.

However, midway through the first half, good build-up play in the junior team led to Liam McCrory having a shot on goal from inside the area, easily tapped in by Ollie Webb.

The adults pressurised the junior goal, especially Steve Whittle, but nothing could find a way past on-form junior keeper Elliot Bryant before the half-time interval.

In the second half the adults got their reward after a mix-up in the junior defence gave Paul Farrugia the chance to slot the ball in the back of the net, referee Mike Everton, who was flawless all game, suspiciously failing to give Farrugia a booking after unnecessary celebrations.

As the two sides seemed to be settling for a draw, a late run in to the box and great cross to the back post by Ed Cooper was turned in by Mobeen Hanid.

Not even a late cameo performance from Owen Wadey could inspire an equaliser for the adults as the juniors held on to an impressive victory.

Juniors: Elliot Bryant, James Bothwell, Stuart Cox, Sam Wright, Ed Cooper, Greg Bothwell, Ollie Webb, Liam McCrory, Myles Blay, Mobeen Hanid, Sam Bracken.

Adults: John Webb, Marcus Isaacs, Andy Norrell, Dave Cox, Phil Bryant, Matt Biffen, Paul Farrugia, Steve Fuller, Riz Hanid, Steve Whittle, Matti Bothwell. Subs: Laura Webb, John Warren, Owen Wadey.
