CF U8 EFA Hunters 26/27 - Marylebone

Big win!

Today was our best team performance so far, and it was great to see everything we had planned before the game come together on the pitch.

The biggest positive was our united pressing. The three forwards pressed together at the same time, while one midfielder stayed central to cover and be ready for the second ball. The players followed this really well, and it allowed us to put pressure on the opposition from the start and take an early three goal lead.

We also used the pitch a little wider than in our last game. This gave each player more space to show their skills and take on opponents in 1v1 situations. It was great to see the players showing confidence, beating their opponents and creating goals.

As the game became more comfortable, the players grew in confidence and our passing and teamwork really started to come together. The biggest achievement was seeing every player score a goal, which was a amazing team effort.

But for me, the most important thing was not just the goals. We looked more confident individually, stronger as a team, and there was a real sense of togetherness between the players. That was what made me happiest today.

This was a game to enjoy from start to finish. A brilliant performance from everyone

See you all at training. Thanks everyone for coming today
