U7 show Heart and Hustle in Trinity/Springs Opening day loss vs Dazzle FC

Jumbo Giants U7 kicked off their term with a hard-fought game against Dazzle FC.

The game started pretty balanced, with both sides testing each other early. Dazzle FC scored the only goal goal in the first half after scoring from a quick counter attack.

Jumbo Giants kept pushing and got their reward when Kayowa scored a consolation goal with a magnificent solo run, dribbling past the defense and slotting it past the keeper.
