U12s at Home 'V' Heaton Mersey

Eager anticipation, as we welcomed one of the stronger U12 teams to our venue, looking forward to a terrific mornings lacrosse.  With both teams being able to field good numbers, and with our U10s playing Sunday we welcomed back the more experienced players to provide the basis for our cup team later this season.
In recent weeks, we have got off to a strong Q1, and today was no exception racing to a 5-0 lead.  In particular this particular quarter was the best we have played all year, with some exceptional lacrosse being played.  The ball moved around quickly, and precisely, players releasing the ball at the opportune moment, and despite some early misses, we managed to find the net of 5 occasions.  In addition, there was a quite extraordinary save, with the keepers butt end being used to good effect.  Q2 started brightly, and fizzled a little bit, with the free flowing lacrosse being replaced by glory seeking, with a 3-1 quarter.  Q3 saw us manage a 4-0 quarter, finishing Q4 with a 0-2 quarter.
Lots of game time for all players today, and lots of promise.
One thing which really does need to improve from some, is the way we behave on and off the field if we do want to succeed.
