The first time we played Skye we had a narrow victory. We started the game well and mid way through Xavier had a trademark run with the ball that the keeper was just able to save, but Damiano was there to pounce on the loose ball. The goal did the team no good though, the intensity dropped and it looked more like a tea party for the rest of the first half! Chatting too each other and standing in groups watching the game and not marking a player. Skye was onto it and scored two goals to go deservedly ahead into the break. The second half was much better although it showed that it was the first time we played on artificial turf whilst Skye used the bounce and skid of the turf well. Campbell and Charlie controlled the deference with Oliver and Marley working hard in the midfield. Joel had a number of good runs and Will was industrious upfront. Damiano scored a deserving the equalizer to great delight of the players (and parents), but Skye went ahead once again quickly after. Oliver DR did a great job for the first time in goal and with great effort and a couple of changes we were close to the equalizer, but it was not meant to be.
Congratulations to Xavier on his "Most Valuable Player" award for last week’s game. Xavier has great balance and is able to run at high speed with the ball under control. He also scored a great header last week
GO STINGRAYS!
