U10 - Aspendale Stingrays (Blue)

Time for the grudge match and boy did the blue's come out swinging. After taking a pasting in our last encounter they fought hard to pull off a draw. All the boys played hard and we once again had great goal-keeping at both ends. The coaches as always did a great job of both keeping the kids happy and managing to marshal the troops to a fine draw. I must apologise for the poor quality of pictures of late as I think my trust point and shoot is slowly fading....... (PS A good excuse for another) - Thanks again to all the volunteers and making match-days very enjoyable. It's also great seeing the boys trading after the game and now looking like a unit.

Congratulations to Martin on his "Most Valuable Player" award for rock solid defense and a special award to Harry for Game winning goal-keeping.

Coaches' Corner : It was a tough game which either team could have won we had chances ,they had chances, the boys really stuck to the job in hand and shut the Aspendale Blues down but they really  wanted the win but they got a draw. All the boys stood up and they all played really well with some playing their best game ever. With it being an inter club derby the crowd was noisy and passions were high among the spectators and coaches, the game had goals , great saves , injuries and controversial decisions- it had it all. The good thing was the way the boys held position, played some really good balls through to the attack and scored good goals and did not get pushed off the ball easily. Roll on next week.

The score ended up 2-2
