Wanborough Vs Greenmeadow

Wow some Sunshine and a played match….there is a rare thing!

 A good effort was shown from all. Well done to Keiran for Player of the Match. Goalie is a tough job and he made some good saves. Other special mentions for Rudran and Toby for goals and a major improvement note to James,who I am told was very focused and really played his heart out. The defence also did some excellent work

Good points from this match:

·       Lots of passing

·       Good, legal tackles

·       Listening better to guidance

·       Staying positive when down on score line

·       Good sportsman ship

Learning points

·       It’s good to pass- we need to work on deciding when to pass and when to take the ball forward. Also once you have passed making sure that if you are attack or midfield that you follow the ball  and try and get in front of it, or tackle for it if its gone to the other team. If there is no-one to pass to then you may have to go for a brave run towards the goal

·       We want you to behave well but aggression and passion are a big part of the game. So long as it is focused on the ball and the desire to get it, that’s fine

·       Professional players make mistakes in the heat of the game: Handballs, fouls, pass to other team, let in goals, score own goals. No-one should ever feel bad about these things. Often these things happen when you are trying your best. Important thing is to try and stay focused after a mistake and just move on

Thanks to Bridget for organising the teas and coffees; Gary for management and U10’s for the loan of their pitch.
