Home league match
Today started last night with JJ falling in stinging nettles, these boys these days are going to crazy levels to get some kind of a thrill but luckily for the saints he was ready for ko. This was followed by dexter having pains for doing a squat competition at gymnastics, we all know this boy never likes to loose so i can imagine this went on for about an hour, luckily for us a little warm up he was good to go. I can assure you all if i did either of these i would be laid up in bed for a week so it shows how much these boys love this game.
Today we played probably the best team in the league, most were school mates too which makes it harder. The 1st half was incredible, i say the best defensive performance i have seen from our saints team with jake and coby holding the back line amazingly. Dexter was sensational in goal besides 1 very lucky last minute goal. The 2nd half continued where we left off, the wingers were exhausted, alfie in midfield was exhausted but they kept defending there hearts out.
3rd half we started on the front foot, dexter was on it and everywhere putting stunning balls in the box, battling his heart out in midfield but once again, pevensey got there foot in the game and passed us out the half, with atlast 1very good goal which was undefenable.
4th half, our boys were abit deflated even though they never gave up and kept defending every second of the match.
Honestly as a coach and a defender once upon a time it was incredible how every boy closed the ball down, closing angles, sprinting back to help there team mates, being a nucense just enough to put them off there shot, it was a master class team effort. Next time we go again, i hope i get to talk more about the attacking opportunities but today every parent should be so proud of that performance. Logan was MOM due to a pre match team talk, the amount of sprinting back and marking he did was class to watch, its not his normal game but he played it and gave it100%.
I must add, every player was also out of position due to missing oscar, bill and joey. Give everyone of the boys a huge cuddle from me and robbo ????????
