SAUGHALL COLTS 3 - 1 BEES
Playing 7v7 for the first time today the boys started really well in wet conditions and whilst we didn't quite hit the heights of recent weeks the game was very even until the last quarter.
Yazan put the Bees 0-1 up with a finish from close range and the boys looked quite comfortable and dangerous on the break.
In the 3rd quarter we conceded a goal direct from a corner. We were set-up correctly but the ball sailed over our tallest player Thomas and right into the top corner, even though he leapt valiantly to try to get it. Really, really unlucky.
At 1-1 both teams had chances and in fairness to Saughall they did start to pass the ball with more control than the Bees and they opened us up on a couple of occasions.
In the final quarter we conceded from a good move and then we switched off at a Saughall throw-in (marking the wrong side of the player) to give them a soft goal and take the match away from us.
The boys all tried their best against a team we've been close against in the last two games (one win, one defeat). There are things we can learn from and take back to training on Thursday. The main aims by the end of this first season are to be organised, less bunching up and a bit more relaxed on the ball. We are not far away!
Oliver was named MOTM for a committed and calm display.
Well done boys. We can't win them all!
