This week the lads travelled to Boardman & Eccles for the next episode in the 2017 season story. With cold conditions, scattered showers and four players away with the U14' this allowed others to step up and show what they were made of.
The pitch was not in the best condition due to heavy rainfall, but delighted to have a game when many other teams would have called it off, therefore the going was tough. The first quarter saw the lads streak ahead with a 0-4 lead and the dominance continued into the second quarter which ended 1-3.
There were ground balls aplenty today with 50no in total which reflected some of the inexperience within the team. There were a few heated moments and hopefully two young lads will learn and not react, as it doesn't help the team.
We were fairly even on face off with seven won and six lost, although Boardman took the free clear after we had scored five.
A special note is needed for Josh Bradbury who stepped into the big shoes of Aaron for the second time this year with excellent results. He is a rising star and with more experience will be a great asset for the U10' and U12' teams in the future.
Shots (25) and shots on goal (24) were high today and if they were all secured the score line would have been much higher. Boardman & Eccles seemed to have renewed vigour going into the third quarter and this resulted in a quarter score of 3-2 and the come back continued into the last quarter but equaled by our lads with a quarter score of 3-3.
7 different goal scorers this week, Ben, Jay, Dan, Henry, George (2), Luca (3), Dan (3), but need to work on the number of assisted goals. Felt Luca had a strong influence on the game, with 3 good goals, and working hard all over the pitch.
Final score was 7-12 and the undefeated run remains intact......
