THE BULLETS ARE BACK!

After a few weeks without competitive football due to persistent rain, AFC Market Bosworth returned to action with an away fixture against Chasetown Youth FC. Despite the long journey, the players were eager to get back on the pitch, and that hunger was clear from the very first whistle.

AFC Market Bosworth took control of the game early, dominating possession and dictating the tempo throughout. The team passed the ball with confidence and composure, moving it sharply and intelligently - at times resembling a prime Real Madrid side in full flow. This slick approach created a steady stream of chances as Bosworth repeatedly found ways through the Chasetown defence.

Early in the second half, a slight misjudgement of a long ball allowed Chasetown Youth FC to grab a goal. However, this moment did little to disrupt Bosworth’s control. Defensively, the visitors remained solid and well-organised, dealing comfortably with any further threats and limiting Chasetown to very few clear opportunities. The overall defensive performance ensured Bosworth stayed firmly in control at both ends of the pitch.

It was a hugely encouraging display and an excellent return after a frustrating spell without fixtures. AFC Market Bosworth showed quality, discipline, and togetherness throughout, laying down a strong marker for the matches ahead.
