U10 Green CCCFC White 0 Bath Arsenal 3 Print
Season 12/13 - Under 10 Black & White

If last week was all about rampaging dribbling, sweet passing and clinical finishing - this week was about digging in, counter attacking and working hard for your mate alongside you.

We faced the might of Bath Arsenal who have been on a relentless march to what could still be a league and cup double ever since they scraped a draw against us in the opening match of the season. This is a top class outfit and one which will be competing for the blue division title next year..........this is why our lads should be very proud of their performance today.

We just ran out of fit defenders - with Joe not available the one thing we couldn't cope with was injuries to Toby and Tom. The law of sod was in effect though and that was what happened.

The lads threatened first when a good move saw Zac drive a cross across goal - it seemed inevitable that someone would sidefoot that in - but they didn't! Jayden and David were tackling everything that moved in a really impressive performance, as was Toby until he pulled a muscle and had to retire. Tom was unbeatable in goal. Half time arrived and a very even game remained goalless.

Tom joined the fray on the pitch hurling himself into tackles he had no right to win. Jayden and Zac had to be pulled back into defence, as was Archie at various times to cover those injuries. JJ, Rory and Nick were threatening to break free as we counter attacked, but we never quite got a clear chance. Tom got a nasty bang on the knee meaning more positional puzzles for the coach to deal with!

I really have to thank Tom, Jayden, Zac, David and Archie for putting the team first, and playing in those defensive positions for longer than they really wanted to. With 8 mins remaining our resolve cracked, when Archie lost his footing and couldnt keep a shot out. Bath then went on to score another 2 which meant the game didnt wholly reflect the score but - hey ho.

Well done guys - if we can put last weeks and this weeks performances together - we can do some damage!
