Team players today: Connor, Noah, Rhys, Jonathan, Michaela and Jaden
Player of the day: Michaela
Coach Rochelle said, "Wow I think Gunnion Square 2 might be 10th Grade size! Our team worked really hard only there was a lot of field to cover and only having one sub meant only one break each! A great game to watch : the teams were fairly evenly matched on offence and defence, everyone wanted the ball so it was a real tussle at times and a few bodies hit the ground. Jaden took a hard knock to his knee - well done to him for carrying on playing until the end! We have great little burglars (stealing the ball) in our team, everyone gets right in there we just need to work on spreading out more so once we have the ball there are more options to pass to rather than all being a bit close. The Cubs did manage to get a fair share of the ball but as soon as it was down their end too far, it was always kicked back up the field - awesome defence kids! I was very proud of my team today - well done!!"
I enjoyed your reading your blog. As far as I know our pitches are the right size, but they are a bit bigger than most in our league - so you could be right. I have 'borrowed' the pics you took for our blog, hope you don't mind! By the way the final score was 1-1 as I'd blown the whistle for full-time before you scored (not that it matters, but I thought I'd mention it LOL). Will (Temuka Cubs Coach)
