BEES 5 - 12 SAUGHALL YOUTH
We came up against a good Saughall team with one very talented player who we struggled to get to grips with.
With only 7 available players and a few experienced players away we weren't as organised as usual and the boys found it hard to keep positions, shape....and sometimes concentration!! It didn't help that the ref was also coaching and we missed Chris on the line getting our orders out to the boys.
After a tentative start and going 0-1 down the boys started to put some moves together resulting in Samuel scoring with a good finish to the bottom right. However, over the course of the next 15 minutes the game was taken away from us with Saughall scoring 7 goals to end the second quarter 1-8 up!
In the third quarter they put their talented no.6 in goal and our Bees had a fantastic quarter with two more goals from Samuel and one from Ben after a great bit of skill. We won the quarter 3-1 which just emphasises the difference one player can make on these small pitches.
Going into the final quarter 4-9 down we had hoped to get further back into the match but Saughall scored more goals and our boys were giving them too much time and space and our tackles were not exactly strong! Ellis managed to score a consolation goal.
The lessons we can learn from the game is that we must always compete, tackle and run about with 100% effort. The score or result isn't important but the effort we make and trying our best is vital.
MOTM award is shared this week between Henry and Samuel. Samuel got another hat-trick, always tried his best, with some solid tackling. Henry was unbelievably unlucky not to get his first goal and never stopped running and trying.
Well done to all the boys. They all said they enjoyed the game which is the main thing.
