Team – George, Jonah, Joe, Kyle, Olly, Keiran, Callum,
I have been coaching this talented squad for seven years and have never seen a score-line like this. On our day we can give most club sides a good game but when in the mood the boys can really turn it on.
The weather was chilly and damp but the wind was not a factor this week. The pitch – when located – was sticky and the grass was uneven in places but it was still a good day for football to be played. Arbury Aces lined up with only ten players but anyone watching couldn’t deny they kept going to the end and always looked to make a break when the opportunity arose.
The boys started lively and up for it and never really took their foot off the pedal.

0-22 Jonah. Good feet, low finish.
We moved the boys around a lot, playing them in different positions, brought George out of goal (thanks Callum) and asked them to keep playing football throughout – which they did – there was no long ball just good passing and movement. It could have been more with shots over and wide – plus a saved penalty. What was pleasing was the goals came from all over the team and they continued to work hard for each other to create chances.
A top team performance but special mentions for..
Adam – best game so far
Callum – strong in first half
Keiran – superb wherever we put him
Joey – it will come mate – first name on the team-sheet
Man of the match was Jake for a strong all round performance and a good hat-trick – with a top quality third goal – sharp spin and deadly finish.
Keep it going.
