Y3 boys V Sefton Scorpions

Our two teams played two games each, and overall we won 3, lost 1.

Team Fox (Danny, Sebastian, Alec, Ollie K, Sam P, Jacob, Marcos, Harri) won their games 2-1 and 2-0. Alec and Danny scored in the first game in what was a good striking partnership. The team played well again in the second game - Danny scoring a scorcher - and Sebastian in particular continued to emerge as a pivotal player in defence, midfield and often attack.

Coach Ewan Paton said the boys did well but there is still room for improvement: "We need to encourage our strikers to practise really leathering some shots at goal: there's still a tendency for some of them to try and dribble the ball into the net."

Team Green and Whites (Sam L, Sonny, Owen, Ollie C, Jack C, Aidan, Raul, Max) won their first game quite easily (3-0), then played well in the second but lost 3-1 (with the third goal coming with the last kick).


'Team two' played 2 very good matches dominating the first.......goals scored by Sam L, Sonny and Raul....with lots of great passing.

Dave Thrasher is reported as saying: "We dominated the first game with some slick passing. In the second match we lost our shape a bit with all the boys wanting to go forward which left gaps at the back."

Big thanks to dads Andrew B, Andrew C and Paul M for their emergency help in reffing games and managing the sides.
