U9's Shield Semi Final

What a day! We can only better this by wining the final.

Again the boys showed fantastic commitment all over the pitch. We started very slow and couldn’t get the ball forward quickly enough, but we soon turned this around and started pushing forward with some great football which made it easier for the defenders who quickly settled down.

We continued to move the ball forward quickly and gave the Vipers a lot of problems even though there was a lot of rotating. It was fantastic to see the positive attitude from all the players even though they were switched on and off regularly.

Man Of The Match today was a tough decision, Brooksey had a great game and didn’t stop running, his headed goal from a corner showed great skill. But, due to the fact that he was playing out of position and had no replacement and but kept a great tempo throughout the game I had to choose Ciaran...well played.

We now have a great day out at the MK Stadium against Tattenhoe Reds, if we keep up this commitment we have a great chance of lifting the trophy.

Well played all of you, stroll on May the 8th!
