It is incredibly rare to have such a low scoring game at this level of Junior lacrosse, but that's exactly what we were treated to. It wasn't a slow game, or even a bad game, it was a tight well fought game of junior lacrosse, with lots of end to end action. Good movement 'On' and 'Off' the ball, with both keepers playing well.
We always knew this would be a close game, and we invited all the more senior U12s to play for the last time at this level (some of them have played for 5 years plus at U12s), and it will be sad to move on, but move on they must, as they grew older, and more talented they need to be pushed and tested at higher levels.
The first quarter seen us, race to a 3-1 lead, with 2 goals from Luca and 1 from Rhys, with 2 of these coming from Assists from Rhys and Hugo. Uncharacteristically, we never managed to score in Q2, and Norbury scored 3 leaving ourselves trailing 3-4 at half time. Q3, seen a couple of goals from Hugo and Jay, before Q4 proved scoreless for both teams. Leaving ourselves, victors on the day, at the end of a good season (decimated by weather), we can look back and be thankful to all our new recruits, the reality that we will have an U14s team for the first time in 4 seasons, and believe it has been a success.
