Not our best match but one where we tried harder in the second half. The opposition were good and in some cases some of the tallest U8’s we have met – perhaps it made our lads think twice as they held back a little more than usual. It’s always tricky moving players on an off pitch so regularly but we have a commitment to give all of the lads a fair turn and sometimes this results in a group on pitch who will end up exposed in some way. Defensively both Sam, Will B and Christian played their part and Christian made some good saves as did our other goalie Cameron (who also did a fine job in penalties at the end). Louis and Will S performed well with Will setting up a couple of great forward passes we were unlucky to score from. Jacob came very close to goals but despite the great effort couldn’t find the net either. Thomas showed lightening speed in his goal speeding ahead of the opposition to rocket away a fine goal and Daniel also worked hard to save us from attack being really quick to spot when to kick out for safety. Ben looked like he was going to make the run of the match at one point to score but again we were unfortunate not to score.
Training tonight went well – thanks to Chris E & Ken for their help with training whilst Chris was training the U12’S as part of his Level 2 course.
