Our boys took on the Rockets at Eric Mobbs reserve. Although the boys were a couple of players down and started the match with 4 and a goalkeeper, they did an exceptional job. Saw some great team work with the ball being fed to the forwards Aiden and Charlie from the defenders Adam, Alex and Rory. Aiden had a great game and was able to score two very cleanly struck goals, Charlie was denied a couple of times by good keeping from the Rocket's keeper. Hayden played in goals for the full game. Superb effort by him to hold out the Rocket's strikers. Alex was strong in defence; always keeping himself between the ball and the goals and tackling hard (but fair). In the latter part of the second half he moved into an attacking midfielder role and instantly created some chances. His around effort and good football vision earning him man of the match. Adam again had a strong defensive game, also spending some time in midfield.
Key learning from this week continues to be the importance I playing your position. Will consider a slight change to positions. Dedicated striker, dedicated sweeper and then the other 4 divided into defensive midfielders and attacking midfielders. Here's hoping Tom is feeling better (unable to play as he was sick).
Very brave effort boys. The 5-2 loss did not tell the tale of the day. I'm proud of you all.
Lastly, a special thanks to Harry Hoff for stepping in a coach whilst I was on holiday.
