We scored!

Oh dear! It happened again. We lost by letting in more than we scored! Actually quite a lot more as it turns out. I think the final tally was 11-1 which has a rather ugly symmetry about it.

But at least we scored.  Well done Ben Axlerod for the goal and Matthew Ewing for the assist!  I think the reason we scored was that we showed persistence in attaching their defenders and goalkeeper. We hustled them and put them under a lot of pressure and they made a mistake. Matthew hit the ball against the wall and across the goal and after a couple of missed clearances Ben scored.  I think if we cross the ball in front of the goal and use the walls more often we will score more! It was an excellent move!

But we still need to "show up" when we tackle. What do I mean?  Well, too many times we make a half hearted attempt to get the ball. We often turn our backs into a tackle. It's like we're somehow afraid of the ball!  Be strong! Watch the ball not the player and use your foot to get the ball. That's the only way to tackle! You don't do it with your back or backside!

But full marks and well done to everyone. I'm proud of the way you really enjoy yourselves and have so much fun on the pitch/field. 

Man of the match: Ben Axlerod for a great goal!
