That was an awesome game! We only had nine players and suffered our first goal of the season scored against us, but in the end our play caused chaos on the field and a determined Juan de Fuca wasn't able to cope. Their coach was very complimentary after the game and for me there is nothing better than when you receive praise from the opposing team.
I thought each and everyone of you was excellent with several of you having your best game so far this season. In fact I'd go so far to say that the four that attended practice Thursday - Miranda, Nina, Genevieve and Nereda - were equally outstanding. JDF had a couple of very talented players who caused our defence problems, but we coped well and rode our luck on one occasion when a shot rebounded off our post.
But I was most pleased with your response to their goal. I think we played our best soccer after they equalized, and our last two goals from Mara and Kathleen were very hard, well-placed shots that left their goalkeeper no chance. Even some of the parents watching the game being played beside us took note! The passing leading up to the goals wasnt too shabby either!
This Saturday we play the other Cordova Bay U11 team. We need to replicate the effort, passing and composure we showed against JDF for our game this coming weekend. They have several talented players but if we keep our play simple and work hard defensively I'm sure we'll do well.
