U12 Orange - U10 Green Saturday
- Our 1st ever leagues game against another Brakes team, and it was played in such a great spirit.
Both teams played some fantastic football today in terrible weather and they should all be proud of themselves.
There was some fantastic link-up play today with DF, MD & ATT working well as a unit with lovely passing and balls into space for team mates to run onto.
Also great communication and encouragement today which was great, as I could hear them all over the pitch talking to each other.
I think the confidence today came from the fact that we knew the opposition, as they are a friends, so probably felt a bit more at ease.
I explained afterwards that if we take that attitude into all of our games, then we will do really well this season.
MoM today could have gone to anyone as everyone did so well. Goals and assists spread across the team, with all outfield players involved.
To see Charly, Toby & Kaci slot into the team so well is great, Toby & Kaci scoring, Kaci with an assist and Charly working well in midfield with some lovely balls to release his team mates.
Kieren, Jake & Sam immense at the back. Sam scoring, Jake with an assist and great running in 1v1 situations to set up lots of attacks, and Kieren making sure nothing got past him at CB (another fantastic captains performance).
Wilfie playing CM so well, winning he ball high up the pitch and using his strength to hold off players and run with it, also releasing it well.
Ezra & Luke both playing ATT so well, pressing the opposition so well to score and assist but also massive improvement in both of their passing today.
MoM was Charlie in goal. He pulled off some cracking saves, none more so than the triple save he made in the 1st half...1st pushed away, 2nd saved with his knee and 3rd pushed over the crossbar with a flying fingertip save. Most impressive though, was his improvement in getting down onto the ball either 1st or 2nd saves.
Well done everyone today, it's the best we've played
