The sun is out, and spring is here.
How do the Scorpions respond to that. They turn the temperature up themselves.. and they were fired up.
All guns blazing and everyone wanted a piece of the action. Rocco T first out of the blocks with a narrow miss.
Then Ted followed up with a long-distance screamer which was tipped over the cross bar. Leo took the corner which knocked the wind out of Rocco, but he made sure to get the finish ⚽️
A low long pass from Ted, left Rocco on his own with the keeper to beat ⚽️
Dylan and Leo looked amazing on the wings both fast, nice skills on the ball and some excellent crossing. Dylan placed a beautiful ball to Rocco; he was just shy of the target.
Captain Leo is incredibly fast, and he managed to use the speed to his advantage running past a number of players and slotting in a beautiful goal ⚽️
The set pieces in training seem to be working because we had some great corners. Callum managed to get a couple of lovely goals from them ⚽️⚽️ super play from Cal 👏🏻
Dylan was such an amazing team player we were very happy as coaches when he slotted one in for himself… a fantastic team player 👊🏻
Half time came and the Scorpions decided to change their objective. There is one player in the team that hasn’t scored a goal. Everyone agreed let’s get our goalkeeper a goal.
Dayvid who’d had a strong first half in defence offered to get in between the sticks for our GK. Frankie spent and lot of his time teasing the oppositions defence while the rest of the Scorpions did all they could to get the ball to him.
This is actually some of the best team work we have seen 🖤💛 from the Scorpions all of them working on one objective. No selfish ambition, no one going for themselves. Even William who hadn’t got one for himself was trying to get Frankie on the end of one. Dylan’s energy bar at half time kicked in, he went to another level. His speed and skill.. everything he had to do was cross one into Frankie… and he was relentless.
A few near misses and the internal pressure appeared to be kicking in. A couple of corners and he was just missing the net.
The final corner of the game. Dylan whips one in, Frankie catches it with a volley, and it hits the back of the net. Everyone goes wild and that ends the game.
The spirit of this team is fantastic they were all excited about getting Frankie a goal. No one was phased by the change of objective. This is when it’s more than football. When the whole team wants to a make a difference for their mate. Listening to player conversations after the match they basically voted for Frankie to get PoTM. This had made his whole season.
⚽️🖤💛⚽️
