NMJFC U8's Hornets V Whaley Bridge Tigers - 12/2/23
Early start for The Hornets and after the previous weekends game was called-off at the very last minute, the lads were raring to go! Due to a few different situations The Hornets had no subs the night before the game so called on Leo (NMJFC U8 Bees) to help out. He did a marvellous job and the boys loved having him involved.
Oliver B went in nets first-half and although this is not his preferred position he took the gloves and proved how strong the team spirit is amongst this young group.
With Oliver B in goal, we never get less than 100% effort from this lad!
The outfield players were in fine form and the passing game was once again taken to another level. Finley was bringing the ball forward and setting-up the attack. Frankie was on a mission as sibling rivalry meant he needed to up his game. Frankie was outstanding. If he wasn’t scoring, he was setting goals up or winning the ball back in defence.
Oliver L had been unwell this week and we all thought he’d not been attending todays match. We should have known better and he wanted to be involved. You were brilliant Oliver L!
In attack we were clinical. Albie & Ollie M were making runs and setting up chances that the opposition just couldn’t handle. I say this too often but the lads went up another gear and when you see the ball being moved like that by 7 & 8 year old kids ….. It makes us coaches so proud.
Second Half was the icing on the cake. Oliver L took the gloves and preserved his energy for a big week ahead. He almost scored himself whilst playing in the ‘Sweeper / Keeper’ role!
Goals began to flow again, but what impressed us coaches most, was watching the lads play the game correctly. They have all listened & learnt so much and to see them ‘squaring the ball’, just yards in front of the goal-line, so another member of the team could score from a better position….. It blows my mind!
Frankie hit the net numerous time 💥💥💥💥, as did Albie 💥💥💥💥 & Ollie M 💥 on the score-sheet again too. Fantastic to see and you three all played out-of-your-skins. Even more impressive, was the way you boys kept going. Albie & Olive B were so unselfish and just continued to play the percentages game by putting the ball in the box and hoping somebody would be there to finish it. Most of the time, they were!
You boys have come on so much. You’re playing beautiful football getting the rewards you deserve.
Player of the Match was a Frankie🏆 All round perfect performance.
