Week Ten, Wolves

This week we played Wolves on the relocated(and somewhat muddier) Pitch 4.

With winter chills and ills still doing the rounds, each team had 9 players available, so we played 4v4 and 5v5 games.

Team 1 had a great game with lots of goals coming for Caleb and Felix, and some great defensive and midfield play from Raphael and Zachary.

Team 2 had a harder game, but we saw some great persistent attacking play from Jessica, some good combinations in the mid-field from Mackay, William and Zaqiy, and an unbelievable steel-curtain Player of the Day effort, with save after save, by Nicholas on defence.

Week Nine, Leeds

This week we played Leeds on Pitch 5.

Check out our slideshow for Week 9.

With lots of players away sick, AV and Leeds were each able to field 6 players for a well contested match. We saw some great attacking play from everyone, and spent most of the game in Leeds' half. Felix and Caleb came away with 2 goals apiece and Raphael also scored in the second half.



Our Player of the Day showing some great defence and getting to grips with the throw in ball, was Mackay.




Hopefully we see everyone back and feeling fit next week! Don't forget our photo session this Tuesday, when we will meet at Riverhills at 5:15pm. (Remember clean gear, including boots and socks!). So NO midweek practice this week.

Next Saturday - we play Wolves on Pitch 4. See you there!

Week Eight, Everton

After two weeks of cancelled games, we came back to play against Everton on Pitch 6.

Once again we had a few players away sick, but it was good to have Natasha back and straight into the action after a big break. We managed to field two teams for 4-and-5-a-side games with players from Everton helping us out on each pitch.

Felix found the back of the net 4 times on one, and we had a Player of the Day performance, with a goal and some great defence, from Caleb on the other.

Hopefully we see everyone back and feeling fit next week! Don't forget our photo session this Tuesday, when we will meet at Riverhills at 5:15pm. (Remember clean gear, including boots and socks!).

And don't forget our practices too - we've been playing some fast running 1v1 and 2v2 games, and some robbing the nest and great shooting and passing drills. Keep an eye out for the players who are at practice regularly - I think they're learning to use some tricky parts of their bodies, above the ankles! No practice this week though - be on time for the photos!

And this Saturday - we play Leeds on Pitch 5. See you there!
