Seventh heaven for Irons U17s

Steve Potts’ West Ham U17 side put seven past Dagenham and Redbridge youths
in a half-term friendly.

Marcio Martins managed netted a hat-trick, and schoolboys Jerry Amoo,
Reece Burke and Jami Rafati put another three past the Daggers ‘keeper, with the
other goal coming courtesy of a Daggers' defender.

Steve Potts was suitably impressed with the victory. He told whufc.com: "We
had a mixture of first-year scholars and Under-16 schoolboys and we played
some really good football and scored the goals to go with it."
“On Thursday, we put the ball into the back of the net and it was very
pleasing on the eye and very good.”

Potts took this opportunity to remind his young players that there are
Development squad places available and that good performances may be
rewarded by higher level football.

Hopefully the side will build on this result and transfer the confidence to
their league matches, for which results haven’t been as flattering.
