U11 - Chelsea Braves FC

Sadly your manager was crook with a fever but heard some great reports on how well the boys played albeit with a little navel-gazing. With only two games left let's see if we can have another win. With a weeks gap we need to practise twice as hard to ensure that.

Reminder of the get-together on the 9th. It's good for most as it's hard to please all :-) - I will confirm later.

The outstanding achievement award went to Martin for last weeks contribution being a rock in defence

Coaches' Corner : We tried hard but could not goal today , in defence we need to clear the ball and communicate who is going to clear the ball, we need to go to the ball a bit more and try to anticipate where the ball will be going.

Scores ended up 0-3

Scorers: Crickets

U11 - Mount Eliza Blue

This was a much better performance by our boys than the last encounter where we were unable to score. The passing was good and the boys shared the ball. The highlight of the day however was the 7 fruit sensation delivered fresh by our own, William Wallace.

The outstanding achievement award went to Thomas L for last weeks contribution always feeding the ball.

Coaches' Corner : We scored 2 but should have had at least 4 , we put them under pressure up front but they held out. When we get passing and talking to each other we go well when we don't we lose easy goals, we will keep training on these things this week and look for improvement next week.

Scores ended up 2-7

Scorers: Charlie (1), Jackson (1)

Fruit Sensation

U11 - Peninsula Strikers

It was an early and a slow start but when our opponents found their own net our boys turned on the heat. While the opposition were not the best they put in the effort but were unable to stop the barrage of goals that followed. A special mention to Mitchell and Martin who scored their first goals for the club. Well Done. With four games to go, lets see if we can keep the momentum. See you all at training on Thursday.

The outstanding achievement award went to Arun for last weeks contribution giving it 100% all the time.

Coaches' Corner : Today's game was a good chance for the boys to play out of their comfort zones in different positions which they all managed, with some boys getting their first goals. The strikers never really showed any signs of striking and we kept a clean sheet. I am sure next week will be a bit tougher for us but it was good to get the win today but the 8 aside was hard work with a bench of 4. Lets focus at the training this week and keep improving week by week, it's all about passing the ball -> let the ball do the work.

Scores ended up 8-0

Scorers: Charlie (2), Jackson (2), Martin(1), Orlando (1), Mitchell (1), Arun (1)
