NMJFC U9's Hornets v Buxton Juniors Comets - 10/9/2023
An unbelievable start to the season.
The Hornets have been excited to step up to the 7-a-side game and they all believe in each other and it showed in their performance.
Fenn is our newbie to match-days, but he has been training with us since the very start of the boys football journey and he slotted straight in. Confident but calm, he got that clean-sheet his Grandad requested! Well done Fenn - Superb👏
Although a little nervous to begin with, the lads kept their composure and managed to make a big impact on the first half. Our set-pieces proved to be the difference in the first-half and a couple of goals allowed the boys to relax and enjoy themselves.
Second-half was staggering! Although our opposition appeared to have a coach in every corner of the pitch, The Hornets listened to the advice given at half-time & instead of the short passing game we had practiced in the week, we went a bit more direct and also started firing off more shots.
The goals followed..... None more glorious than Finley's absolute screamer that burst the net from almost his own half. All of the goals were good and these included Albie, Frankie, Finley, Ollie M & Oliver B.
What was most impressive from a coaching aspect was the way the boys celebrated together as a team. Albie, Ollie M & Finley in particular, had the kids & parents alike in raptures as they scored some fantastic goals!
💛🖤⚽️👏
