Today we played our first game, after starting in August with just two players it was a fabulous achievement to see 8 players ready for their game. The majority of players have never played a game before but it was a brilliant performance from them all!

Archie - Made so many good runs with the ball and showed fantastic confidence on the pitch. He even went in goal for a bit and made some excellent saves

Josh - Started in defence and was very strong. He tackles well and he also enjoyed a stint in goal

Freddie - huge amounts of energy from Freddie. Up and down the pitch then dropped to defence and showed a great understanding of the position.

Zach - passed the ball well and also made some good tackles. He showed tremendous ability on the ball particularly in the wide positions.

Harrison - started as a striker and got forward as much as he could. He then played in midfield in an energetic display from him.

James - box to box display from James, he was unlucky not to grab a goal and produced a lovely drag back turn first half.

Chance - a lung bursting performance from him. He drove forward numerous times, was another player who showed confidence on the ball and nearly got a goal too.

Wyatt - He made some unbelievable saves in the first half. Then second half played outfield showed some great skill. He scored our first ever goal with an emphatic finish in the top corner.

These boys haven't been a team for very long but they demonstrated fantastic work rate and character. We played some nice football at times today and they should be very proud of themselves. Coach Scott certainly enjoyed the game and was in awe of how well the players did! Player of the match went to the whole team for showing an excellent attitude throughout the game and just being a lovely group to be around.

Well done u8s!
