Match Report |
Bright and early start up at a relatively warm Wentworth Falls. Huge field with small goals and only 1 sub, the kids were asked to use the extra space and pass the ball around – this was executed well with a number of moves stringing 5 or more passes together. James was in goal for the first half and kept a clean sheet – great goal kicks out wide meaning the defence was not put under pressure and made a superb one-handed save away to his right from a well-hit shot. Defence was solid all game, notably Xavier, Arwen and Kieran. Our first goal was well created; breaking out of defence, the ball was played up to Riley, who, as the coach had asked, made himself available up front on the break, held the ball up well and then played a ball across the middle to the midfield breaking forward – on this occasion, Finn, who’s first touch was excellent and his finish neat. The only other goal of the half, and game as it turned out,was from Riley following up a shot from Finn. Geordie played one of his best games all year – coming very close to a goal in both halves; chasing balls down and passing to team mates well. Thomas also worked hard up front all game, linking up with Riley and Geordie. Maeve played at centre half while Arwen had her breather – coach asking Maeve not to venture forward and hold her position. Asking Maeve not to run is a bit like asking a fish not to swim, but to her credit Maeve did what was asked very well! Kane again demonstrated that his overall game has really improved this year – dribbling and tackling have always been his strengths but Kane has added consistently good passing to his game. Finn helped out in both defence and got forward to link up with the strikers all game. Xavier also kept a clean sheet in the second half, making some great saved, diving at the feet of the forwards. PoW to Geordie for working hard, passing well and coming oh-so-close to a goal – well done, Geordie. |
