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 Three, April 16 2011, Leeds

This week we played against Leeds in the pouring rain!  Check out all our drowned rats in the photo montage.

Leeds had a lot of players away sick and could only field 5 players this week, so we split our squad:

Team 1	Team 2
Natasha(c)	Zaqiy(c)
Jessica	Zachary
William	Mackay
Felix	Caleb
Kees	Raphael

Team 1 played Leeds first while Team 2 played some 3v3 with Billy on the other pitch.  The teams swapped at half time so everyone got a turn playing against Leeds.

We saw some great running football from everyone - obviously nobody wanted to stand still in the rain! - with some great passing and goal scoring from Natasha and Jessica in the 3v3 game, and a Player of the Day worthy hat-trick from Felix in the first half.

We had our first "juggling skills" test with some great knee juggling from everyone - Zaqiy and Raphael are leading the way in this clip with some very good ball control and nice high flat knees! Keep it up, everyone, we'll be building our juggling repertoire during the season and keeping an eye on everyone's progress.
