A strange match today. Sunshine gave way to sleet and hail at kick off. We had to take shelter for 5 minutes in the first half and then cut the match short in the second half due to the unpleasant weather.
Robins went 3-nil ahead. Their two danger players ran at us freely using the downhill advantage and could have scored more if Jonathan hadn't made lots of good, brave saves.
Wasps kept their heads up and pulled back 2 goals as a result of some excellent passing (at least 5 passes resulting in the first goal from Arthur followed by one from Tom H).
A third goal straight from the kick off brought the game to 3-3. Unfortunately the weather got the better of us and we cut the match short, agreeing to share the points.
Good points: keeping our heads up to come back from 3-0 down, passing well going forward. We looked like a winning team by the end of the match.
Learning points: we must stop stepping in or jumping in to tackles, everytime someone swings a leg or jumps in the other team simply ducks round them and is free to pass or score. We need to be able to deal with opposition players running at us as this will happen more and more at U11 level next year.
MoMs: Captains: Harry for some excellent running with the ball. Coaches: Dominic for his best performance yet. Special mention to the goalscorers, Tom and Arthur; Jonathan's goalkeeping; Johan for defending and playing the ball out well; everyone else for keeping going when losing in bad conditions!
NOTE: Cirencester match confirmed for 2pm ko on Sat 21st.
