U9 Friendly: Whites 1 Devizes 1 |
Season 11/12 - Under 9 Blacks & Whites |
The lads had a training match against Devizes (away) to bed in new players and tactics and did themselves proud. In the first third - Will was flawless in goal, Zac and Joe adapted to the wing back roles exceptionally well and Rory and JoshW made very impressive debuts. Several chances were carved out but no-one showed the urgency required to notch. Zac did hit a screamer into the top corner but the ref had blown his whistle for a foul. In the second third - Jay and Joseph showed that they too could raid on the flanks. Joseph made a fine debut. Will and Josh took control of the centre - at one stage Will beat every player on the pitch and then forgot to shoot! We started to get on top but couldnt quite get the goal. In the last section - the game was nip and tuck, with Toby and Tom looking secure at the back. Louie started knitting play together in midfield but we conceded a poor goal near the end. Gotta get those clearances away guys!! With time running down - Rory went on a long run, popped the ball off to Josh who crossed the ball for Archie to display his natural striking instincts by crashing the ball in without breaking his stride. Well done guys - a good reward for not giving up until the very final whistle. |
