U14s Travel to Mellor for A 3-Way Against Timperley and Mellor

What a season this is turning out to be!  Apart from anything else the weather has been extremely kind to us, and prior to today we have managed 20 games, 17W, 1D, and 2 Defeats but as stated in my last blog, it is how much we have improved which impresses me the most. 
The format today was pretty simple, basically 30 minute games, of 2x15 minute halves. 
So we faced Timperley first and although a little slow to start, we soon found our stride with good passing, speed in transition and delighted to comment that Joel came up with the first score of the morning, followed by Cameron ad 2 from Rhys (Assisted by Hugo & Cameron), leaving ourselves 4-0 up at the end of the first half.
Q2 saw us continue to play good lacrosse, but seen us rotating the squad and ensuring all players get game time.  Still came up with 3-1 in the 2nd half, with 2 from Hugo and 1 from Will H both assisted by Cameron.  So first game over and done with and a victory nonetheless of 7-1.

 

Second game of the morning saw us come up against Mellor (again) and although during the game their are rivalries there are a number of strong friendships which exist amongst he players.  We started well, and the first half saw us go in with a slight advantage of 4-5.  Delighted to see Joe B get his first goal for a few years with a lovely take from Cameron and a quick finish for our 3rd goal of the morning.  Other scorers in the first half were Cameron, Will H (2), and Rhys.  Probably the highlight of the mornings play, was the ability to bring in less experienced players, resting some and still being able to be extremely competitive and the 2nd half seen Luca get on the scoresheet with Mellor getting a couple at the other end.  Although nothing at stake the coaches decided to play golden goal and a long run by a Mellor player saw him shoot and score.  In the end an enjoyable mornings play, leaving our friends from Mellor bragging rights.
