Mud Madness

Well done all on a great couple of matches today.

 Players of the matches – Thomas in the first match for really working hard in his first full match, and staying focused and following direction form the sides. Charlie for some magnificent work bringing the ball forward and good tackles.

Special mentions: All of the Y squad were fantastic. They had no substitutions and we could see them learning as the time went by, more and more about positioning and rules .Annabelle, James and Adam did some great tackles and managed to really do their jobs. Harry, Charlie and Daniel were great at picking up the ball and taking it past the other teams defence. Big thanks for Joe and Aaron for providing the ‘muscle ‘in goal. For this group the key things is staying focused, remembering to mark other players. The more that you all play matches you will find it easier to hold your position and think about other players and not just where the ball is. Most of all I want toyu to enjoy it. I saw lots of smiling , if muddy, faces today…which is great.

Team Z played very well indeed. Really well done to Joe and Rudran who scored magnificent goals. Very good defensive work from Aaron and a great debut from Thomas. Excellent team work from Daniel H and Toby. Some really good goal coverage from Andrew in the first half kept us out of trouble.  This team needed to work on getting players ahead of the ball so that there is someone there to pick up passes.  Less dribbling and more passes would also help us to make good use of space and take more opportunities at goal.

Will hopefully have other chances to play two teams. I think it gave everyone chance to shine.

We are home next week against Fairford. Please can you let me know availability, if you haven’t already, and I will let you know the squad later in the week
