Roffey Robins Atletico under-13s pulled off a stunning comeback against Cranleigh on Saturday to win 8-5.

Robins took the lead early on with Joshua Bellamy making a mazy run down the right wing before swinging the perfect cross for Romario Moratalla to head home.

After that Cranleigh were the most composed side and at half-time led 3-1.

In the second half, as has become a common pattern, Atletico came back into the game. They passed and moved the ball with composure, playing out from defence and moving well.

Henry Dinsdale once again performed calmly and diligently at right back, and Josh Davidson and Dan Klamm looked solid at the centre of defence.

Atletico pulled their first goal back as Moratalla latched onto a through ball from strike partner Luca Harris and he quickly scored his hat-trick as he was first to pounce after a Daniel Gardiner shot hit the cross bar.

It was then Gardiner’s turn to score, which he did at the double, first with a fine solo effort and then by burying a Bellamy cross.
