Match Report - 3rd November
Finlay B 1 - 5 Chubb (would have been 7, but 2 were disallowed)
Our first conclusive victory of the season - what a fantastic match.
The team played like they'd be playing together all year so far..., oh, they have!!
Finally, it's come together, both in number and in talent. The hardest part for any young person to understand, is to remain in position (even when the action is happening elsewhere), give options to your team-mates by doing so, and pass the ball quickly when you get it - keep it, and the team, moving forward. They cracked it this week and the result shows it!
Despite being in the winning position throughout the match, the team never let go - they continued to work hard to the very end. Finlay B put up a galant fight, and their passion was obvious throughout, but Michael, Seb, Jacob (Sub) and Luke in defence simply wouldn't let them get anywhere near goal. Defence was superb, with Man-of-the-Match passing to Michael - fantastic game guys.
Mid-field worked extremely well too this week, with almost all of our goals coming from the players in this section - Josh scored 2 but had one disallowed, Dan scored 3 and had one disallowed, Chris scored 1 and Sam from up front put the final one in the back of the net.
Finally, a HUGE thankyou goes to the parents - there seemed to be more supporters on our sideline this week than ever before (wives included!!!), and we had a full complement of 9 for the team too. I know that getting out of bed on a Saturday morning to stand in a cold (& often wet) field watching a sport you probably don't like is hard, but this last weeks result shows what that support can produce. I think we'd all agree that the boys are making it all worthwhile.
The next match will be on the 17th November, at HOME. Further details to follow next week.
Well done Chubb!!
P.S. - Sorry no pictures this week - I forgot to organise a camera! (DOH!)
