Scott Sinclair on the Mark Again!!

There was an air of anticipation and expectancy on Saturday morning as West London's two local rivals met for the first time this season in a competitive match at Fulham's Motspur Park training ground.
Yes it was Fulham's Academy against Chelsea's Academy and honours were even as they battled out a 1-1 draw. Now I know that there are two Irish lasses who follow the fortunes of a certain Mr Scott Sinclair on this network, and Ladies I am pleased to announce that SS scored again. Thats now seven goals in ten games for young Scott, who I am led to believe was mentioned in a national newspaper during the course of last week. Its difficult to work out why Academy coach was so pleased, enthusiastic about the result. See if you can work it out for yourselves. Brendan said "It was a typical derby game, it was lively." "They worked very hard to stop us playing in the first-half," said an impressed Brendan. "It was a good game, very tight in the first-half. They went in 1-0 up, probably deservedly. The goal came when their centre-forward was allowed space just outside the area to hit a dipping volley." "We went close a couple of times through Dean Furman who hit the woodwork. But in the second-half we dominated and were deserving of at least a draw." A draw is what the youngster got, no thanks to Scott Sinclair who is really starting to make a name for himself. Scott's equaliser came from a superb James Simmonds pass as Scott came in from the left wing. Scott took control and easily beat the young Fulham goalkeeper. Rodgers said about the youngsters ""It was a real test of their mentality in the second-half and they came through well," The future sounds like it is certainly looking bright! Team: Russell; Ofori (Simmonds), Worley, Hutchinson, Bertrand; Cork (c), Bridcutt, Furman; Cummings, Watkins, Sinclair.
