U14's - Summer Tournaments

Please note I have applied for the following tournaments:

 

- 6th June - Supermarine

-27th June - Lydiard

-3rd July - Highworth Juniors

 

I will try and work things so each boy gets at least one tournament.

 

Could you let me know if the boys are N/A for any of these so I can plan the squads (Sarah -thanks for your response).

 

Given the season is now over grateful for a quick response regarding if the boys intend playing next season, thanks for the responses to date.

25th April 10 - Coaches View

Well done to all the Squad on an excellent season, its really special to end the season as Champions.

 

This follows on from our Sportsmanship Award last season which shows that winning and sportsmanship can go together.

 

Positives

 

- Overall good performance, we didn't let the loss of an early goal against us impact the way we played.

- Everyone made a good contribution.

 

Learning Points

 

- Marking from Corners and Free Kicks.

- Keep the simple passing game going, once we started doing this we played a lot better.

Training @ Hoopers

A reminder that training on the 19th April and each Monday thereafter will be a Hoopers Field from 19.00 to 20.00.

 

This is an excellent facility, there are some common sense rules around the use of Hoopers which I will explain to the boys (don't go on the cricket pitch, kick the ball onto the tennis courts, kick the ball against the walls of the Club House, don't stand on the cricket screen etc).

 

Sorry, all seems a bit negative, I'm pointing these things out to you up front as any boy that breaks them will be sent home.

U14's - Champions

Congratulations to all the boys, we have won the league due to Shaw and Croft B drawing today (Ian and Will were at the game as witnesses ).

 

This is a great achievement, to win any league is tough.

 

For me the boys have won the league in the right way, they have shown respect in victory and sportsmanship in defeat.

 

There are lots of memories and we still have one game to go, for me the late comebacks in several games have demonstrated character from the boys which I have enjoyed seeing.

 

The important thing is everyone has contributed, its not just the goals scored, its the saves Jonny (and Harry against Shaw B) made, the vital tackles and blocks defenders have made that have got us to this point.

 

Once the season is over I will agree with the boys a suitable celebration.

 

Well done again boys, you have done the club and yourselves proud.
