The U-13s won their first game of the outdoor season against CPAC on Saturday, taking good advantage of their numerical superiority but also showing great improvement in their passing play, which had been already in evidence in the previous game in Jamor.

The game was goal-less for the first 18 minutes but then Sebastian opened the scoring with a nice tip-in. CPAC immediately replied with two quick goals to leave Casuals trailing at the interval.

But in the second half the Huijsmans sisters put their experience and pace to good use, Fleur scoring one and then both combining in the midfield to give Pedro a shot at goal. Finally, Sebastian put a well struck ball into the area from the right wing and Antonio finished it off with a deflection from the far post. CPAC replied with one but the clock ran down to leave Casuals 4-3 winners.
