Yesterdays Match

Our U12's played at home yesterday, in the finest weather we have seen so far this year. Which was good news for the parents basking on the bankside, but perhaps a bit too warm for the lads playing!

Unfortunately for us, we met a strong team, who have been playing together for the last 4 years and it showed. They scored several times in the first half, and could have scored more, but for the safe hands of our keeper Shane. However our lads battled hard, and once they have more knowledge of the game, you can see how there is talent there amongst them. There was however great excitement amongst our supporters when JoJo scored a goal in the 2nd half!

All in all its a steep learning curve for our lads, most of whom had never played soccer till a month ago. The main thing is we are all together as a community, the lads are enjoying themselves training with their friends, and learning the great game!

We cannot expect to see any great results for another couple of months I am sure, but hopefully along the way we will become more competitive.
