U9 - East Bentleigh Swordfish

Firstly I'd like to thank all the volunteers today.... it seems the kitchen is in much better shape this year. I'd like to apologise about the poor quality of the photo's as they were taken with an iFail 6. What a game, and while your humble manager retuned home to get the forgotten certificate, four goals had been scored. What unfolded next was something spectacular and the reason why we come week after week. The boys were fantastic and played as a team. I think the coaches need the most praise as they're really shaping the boys. Teamwork won today.

Congratulations to Alex on his "Most Valuable Player" award for last weeks great goal keeping.

Coaches' Corner:  It was good to see that our Wednesday training drills are having some affect as the stuff we are practising was actually quite useful in this game and led to a goals by Karl 4, Charlie 2 and Alex 1. Teamwork, going to the ball and a a quick release of the ball towards goal were the keys to winning. East Bentleigh were no walk in the park and it took some good goalkeeping as well to get a result, we had Flynn in the first half and Charlie in the second half who kept a clean sheet. All the boys are now getting into the groove and now looking forward to next week. This was a very pleasing result.

GO STINGRAYS! 

The score ended up 7-2 to the Stingrays

Scorers Karl(4), Charlie(2), Alex(1)
