Game 5 (10/5/08)
SCORERS: Harry (5), John (3), Ronnie (2), Issac, Ryan, Own goal
The boys had a fantastic game. Overall the control of the ball improved and each player played their heart out. Harry scored the opening goal and set the scene for the rest of the match. Mikey showed his strength in solid defence again and came close to scoring a few times. Ronnie had two amazing goals displaying some good footwork. Issac played with enthusiasm and took a hard knock from one of the opponents but got straight up and carried on. Joshua displayed his amazing accuracy by kicking a terrific long range shot from half way which stopped just inches from the goal mouth. Ryan’s determination eventually paid off when he scored his maiden goal with help from John. John showed great awareness of his team mates congratulating them when they scored. His control of the ball resulted in his three goals. An area the Pumas could improve on is their passing and they need to learn not to take the ball off their own players. Overall they are a great team with a positive attitude.
Thornleigh A were unlucky not to score with a few near misses. They persevered and did not give up trying. Thank you to Jerry for keeping score and to Mike for assisting in the absence of Jürgen.
Man of the Match: John for tightly controlling the ball enabling him to score three goals.
