Grove - Away

First Game 0-8 Won
Team Kieron Massingham,Tate Rogers,Tremayne Barratt,Lester Davies,Jack Tutton,Ross McMahon,Leyton Brandon.

An awesome display of team play, individual play, and passing play, was evident throughout this game and was a delight to watch, everyone who was involved in this game at different stages of time did what was required at any time, A four timer from Jack Tutton, a Hat trick from Leyton Brandon and Lester Davies weighed in with the goals, some great finishes, and even more chances missed on top of all this,mainly due to an outstanding performance from the Grove goalkeeper who kept the scoreline down.

Second Game 1-0 Lost
Team Kieron Massingham,Thomas Van Gucci,Cameron Innes,Jamie Smith(Tate Rogers),Robbie Morton,Cameron,Joesph Hastings. (Half Time changes in brackets)

A more even contest with Grove scoring in the first half with a shot/cross which went in off the inside of the far post, for 90% of this half we were under pressure but the lads defended very well from all over the pitch, but we must listen to constructive and important instructions from the coaches and manager and not anybody else as this can become very confusing for the players and affects their game as a team and as an individual, as they are pulled about by too many instructions. The second half saw us go out and reverse the possession held and we started to get into the game and creating some chances, Tate Rogers was very unlucky not to get a penalty awarded late on in the second half when being held back in the penalty box.

Third Game 0-4 Won
Team Tremayne Barratt(Robbie Morton),Kieron Massingham,Lester Davies(Tremayne Barratt)Jamie Smith,Jack Tutton(Leyton Brandon),Ben Smith,Ross MaMahon(Joesph Hastings),(Half Time changes in brackets)

This friendly Game saw all the above players playing in different positions and getting an extra half each after a full game,our Goalie was in defense and defenders or midfielders in goal etc.. great fun for the kids and the goalscorers were Ben Smith with a well taken penalty after being up ended in the box, Jack Tutton with two and Jamie Smith.

Well done to all the boys this morning and this year for all the commitment and hard work put in
by them and their parents.

Thanks to Tony Rogers and Dougie Innes for helping me on Saturday Morning with the warm up and during the matches.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone.
See you all at training on Weds 3rd Jan 2007.
