Well done to everyone who played today. Although the result did not go our way in the end, it was a very enjoyable and entertaining game. Everybody was a credit to the club in the way that they played: working well for the team, playing some great passing football and scoring some good goals.
After going behind it was good to see how well the team performed to storm back into the lead: Ryan scoring from his own half, Luke tucking away his penalty rebound after Johan had been brought down, Tom chipping the keeper and then Matt finishing well. Unfortunately the team tired as the second half continued, especially against the wind, allowing Stratton to win the game.
Thanks to the four U12 players who helped the team out and who all played out of their skins, including Johan who received the Captain's Award, but all the players had excellent games. The Coaches' Award went to Ryan for his solid defensive performance, especially in the first half, and he will be captain for the next game.
Squad: Connor, Ryan (1), Ellis, Nick, Stephen, Sam, Luke (captain) (1), Jason, Tom (1), Matt R (1), Johan and Ben
