First game of the revamped U9 against Skye United. It did not take long for the team to click and it was a competitive first half. We controlled most of the game, but after some close chances it took a great run from Xavier to break the game open. William did well in goals to keep the nil. The second half saw the team stepping it up a notch. Marley showed great positioning in defense and Charlie saved the day with a couple of slide tackles. Oliver showed composure in goal whilst Skye players were streaming towards him. Campbell got busy in midfield and Lucas did not only give it a second effort, but a third as well. Xavier scored another, but Skye showed character and got one back. Great passing into space saw some great runs by Damiano and he was unlucky not to score. Joel scored a deserving sealer after refusing to give up.
We'll continue training on passing, clearing the ball from defense along the side line (and not through the middle), running into space (and not following the player with the ball) and above all, having fun!
GO STINGRAYS!
The score ended up 3-1 to the Stingrays
Scorers: Xavier (2) and Joel
