Stockport Lacrosse Club Juniors: U12s Stockport vs Brooklands

U12s Stockport vs Brooklands

The last league game in the season today for the Stockport’s U12s, for what has been an interesting and largely entertaining season for a team of players that are mostly in their first season. Complete with some spring sunshine, we were on to the main pitch for this match, which promised to be a good even match as we drew 13 all with Brooklands in the very first game of this season.

Q!. Starting off well and scoring quickly Dan Teal put Stockport in front while the Brooklands tall number 11 soon equalised from the crease. Stockport were moving the ball around well today and attitudes appeared much more positive, Jacob B put stockport in front again followed by another from Dan Teal however the Brooklands number 11 who was hanging off the stockport crease was scoring way too easily ending Q1 3 all.

Q2. Stockport were doing reasonably well at face winning most, with a great goal from Tom Smith

as well as another from Dan Teal, the midfield with Henry Ethan and Euan were doing some good strong running with the ball with some shots included, but also passing the ball too this week with Jacob B scoring another 4 including a great left handed goal.

Q3. With a lengthy time consuming change of keeper for Brooklands during this quarter saw various mini picnics around the pitch developing with some lying down watching the world go by before play commenced, with the younger players more involved including Euan Mills and Jacob jnr Morris in the thick of the action up front showing some great catching and passing ability. This quarter went to Brooklands though as they fought back well for possession of the ball, scoring another 2 goals to Stockport`s only 1 this quarter for Jacob B.

Q4. The Stockport defence looked a lot more responsive today in fighting for and winning the ball back which has been a very tricky Job this year with some of the 12 year olds they have had to defend against, so well done to Archie Ryan and Thurston and Josh, every position on the pitch involves a small battle which has to be won.

The shirt was back as well as the game face for Jacob Jnr in his much more recognisable #20 shirt up front with numerous shots on goal, that just wouldn`t quite go in, but the assist was just as important. A great individual run and gun goal this quarter for Henry as well as another for Tom Smith and Jacob B too which secured the win for Stockport.
