Archive photo: The Mighty U/8 TeamLast Saturday the U/8’s took on Old Bens at their home ground (Benoni). Coach Mart started with his SUPA-SUBS (our junior boys) to see how they would cope. Unfortunately we slipped 2:0 down in the first 10 minutes of play, but Coach Mart continued to show faith in his boys by keeping them on the field for a while longer. All the while our spectators bit their nails down to the bone!! Well done Chad & Ethan on your 100% effort!!
Coach Mart then subbed the seniors in and the team ignited and evened the score in the next 7 minutes by smashing in 2 goals! The field was on fire & the team played as though they were avenging our Supa-Subs who were cheering their team on from the side line.
This was the most impressive performance the U/8’s have displayed so far! Both teams played as though they had shifted 2 divisions up, resulting in an electric & tense atmosphere & a fantastic match of junior soccer. Special mention must go to Dean who really rose to the occasion! Broden, Cameron, Jordan, Alldair, Brendon, Kamo, Blane, & Matt well done! You all played like champions! (Unfortunately Angus was ill and could not make the game). Final score 2:2.
The U/8’s have made an impressive turn around from winning only 1 match last year to currently in the top 3 of the same division this year. Special thanks to Coach Mart for all his hard work and commitment to the team.
Our next game is at Home against Olympia on Saturday 30th August 2008, kick off is at 09h30.
