U12s Stockport vs Brooklands

U12s Stockport vs Brooklands

After a short break for half term last week, we were back on the pitch this glorious spring morning for a match at Stockport Lacrosse club against Brooklands. Stockport had a good 14 players available to play today without Finn and George who were playing up in the U14s team, so good luck to them.

Q1 After a decent warm up we were straight into the 10.00am face off and Brooklands straight away looked sharper and more determined than ever against our young Stockport team who seemed lethargic, disorganised and really quite rusty, perhaps from the couple of weeks break. Brooklands scored 3 while Dan Teal managed to score a goal for Stockport leaving us trailing 3.1

Q2 Brooklands were playing really well and with more enthusiasm than Stockport so far in this game, chasing and fighting well for all the loose balls as well as putting together some good passes and it really looked like they were getting in control of this match and really wanted the win, scoring another 4 goals. However Stockport scored 4 also by Jacob B and Dan Teal, again though, still leaving us trailing at half time by 7-5 to Brooklands.

Q3 It looked as if Stockport had decided enough was enough now at half time and then suddenly it looked like they found another gear completely for this quarter and quickly got their game faces on by scoring eight consecutive goals during the quarter with absolutely no reply from Brooklands, bring us up front for 13-7 to Stockport.

Q4 Again Stockport carried on relentlessly with everybody getting involved fighting and defending and winning the small battles for the ball well where it counts, some great hard work being done in midfield by Ethan and Henry chasing the ball down, and we were right back into the game, scoring another 4 goals and eventually winning the match 

17- 9!

                                                  "You better not be planning anything!"

                                       The black eye Henry received earlier didn't deter him.
