Senior side kick off

Vallance FC kicked off their season against Elvalente FC on Sunday 21st September 2014 at Hackney Marshes. Vallance are playing for the first time in the East London Sunday Football League. The game was a morning kick off and played at a quick tempo. Elvalente took an early lead but Vallance equalised from a penalty after striker Salman Khan was fouled in the box. It was converted comfortably by returning former captain Sam O'Brien. Vallance than took the lead through a superb strike from Liam O'Hara. Late in the 1st half Elvalente equalised after a mistake from young goalkeeper Shahinur Rahman. In the 2nd half both teams had chances to score but it was Elvalante who took the lead after another mistake from the goal keeper. Vallance tried to get an equaliser and eventually got exposed at the back and conceded again and lost 4-2. Vallance manager Junel Uddin said "I took a lot of positives from this game because it is a mixture of last years U18 and senior team. Our keeper made mistakes but he is 18 years old and will learn. All the players including the 4 subs are players that have been trained at the Vallance Youth Academy. Results will get better".
