NMJFC U8'S Hornets V Wasps - 16/10/22
It was a crisp, chilly, dry morning this Sunday. As that bright winter-sun 🌞 finally appeared over the trees at Glossopdale we were unaware we were about to be blinded by the most incredible display of football I have ever seen from this little group of super-stars 🌟
This weekend we faced NMJFC Wasps. These kids all train together every week and this week some of them even went Head-to-Head in a Inter-School Championship so their couldn’t be more familiar with each other. It also meant Back-2-Back 'Derby Days' for The Hornets & time for both teams to shine. Once again they done New Mills Juniors proud and wonderful game of football was witnessed by our very supportive parents that never miss a game!
The Hornets were buzzing 🐝 – Sticking to their positions and patiently playing the ball into the right spaces. The final-ball at times was simply stunning and very easy on the eye
Ollie M was captain for the day after his wonderful performance last week and after playing in goal for the first-half he was full of energy in the second half and put in another gritty performance.
Jessica took the gloves for the second half and this meant every single one of the squad has now played a half in goal this season. Great for team spirit.
Frankie, Finley & Oliver L were rotating their positions at the back and were absolutely outstanding. Not a lot of 7 or 8 year olds want to be defenders but you 3 are ace at it.
Up top, Ronan, Albie, Ollie M, Jessica and Oliver B were all full of energy and they proved to be decisive.
Some of the football being displayed by The Hornets was incredible but my favourite moment of all was Ronan’s wonderful corner to Oliver L 💥 who hit it on-the-volley and the ball burst the net! Unstoppable and just what Ollie L deserved for his unselfish defensive display.
Player of the Match went to Albie ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️ who was constantly a threat in attack & scoring goals left, right & centre. Most impressively was the way he covered the hard yards too when needing to get back & defend.
Great team-effort today Hornets 👏
💛🖤⚽️
