We had a football lesson from Ramsbury today. They passed well, moved continuously and took their chances.
We worked hard and tackled well in midfield and Will and Dominic did well in defence against some difficult players. The key learning point is about movement. Too often we were all stood still while Ramsbury ran around us, or passed through us. We let them have too many chances in and around the box. There is no doubt they were fitter than us!
Charlie won Captain's MoM for his defensive work, he also had Coach's MoM for his leadership and talking throughout the match.
Well done to Arthur for pinching a goal at the end!
Reminder - match kit at training tomorrow for team picture please.

Cricklade 2 - 2 Wasps
There was certainly no lack of effort today, but we didn't get the win we probably should have got. The big learning point is about passing - we score goals by passing. When we don't pass we have some lovely runs on the ball but ultimately these break down and leave us exposed at the back. We should always score when we have 4 players attacking one defender!
Everyone must be prepared to play out of their "normal" position. We had several injuries today and everyone must be ready to fill-in if required and keep their position.
Another goal for Johan and first league goal for George!
Well done to Captain's MoM Charlie and Coaches MoM Nick for particularly good defensive work.
Training tomorrow at the Rec from 6.45pm.
We have two matches left - a tough match away to Ramsbury and the final game away to Croft. Team for Ramsbury will be posted tomorrow, everyone is invited to play at Croft.
