Last Game, Next Game

Well, how 'bout them apples? We're going to feel good this week. For those of you who weren't there, here's the report:
Started the game with 8, moved quickly to 9 and Marat made it 1-0 shortly after stepping onto the field. Not long after that, we reached 11 players and defended exceptionally well throughout the half, launching very effective counters. As Dilwyn put it, we discovered yesterday that we're a counter-attacking team. Great individual efforts by Sam and Jim gave us a 3-1 lead, I finished a nice collective move with a nice dish from Marat and we ended up winning 4-2. Let me tell you, everyone had a great game yesterday. Mark B and Matthew ran the wings and shut down numerous attacks. Dil and Mike owned the rear middle third and Chris and Kurt defended exceptionally - perfect positioning on many occasions. We passed well, almost exclusively on the ground, showed for each other and defended as a unit. All in all, exceptional work, especially with no subs. Or maybe because we had no subs we slowed things down and played a nice, precised short-ball game. Hmm...
Anyway, enough gloating. Let's get ready for our next game, Sunday the 23rd, 3pm at Redland High School. I'm sure most of you remember the fiasco in the Spring when our field was usurped by a bunch of middle-schoolers and their parents, so be aware.
Let's play Wednesday at 6.30 at Fiala.
Again, great work and see you this week.
