Game 9 (31/5/08)
”The one that got away”…… We were fired up to have a win and consolidate our position at the top of the table but it just wasn’t going to happen for us today. I can make plenty of excuses but one thing was evident……..it was the ”little things” that made all the difference today. A slippery ball and wet pitch meant we lost control of our kicking with heaps of balls not finding their mark. We had time but seemed to rush everything this morning.
First to the ball, first touch, look up before you pass or kick, find your man……..it didn’t happen like it did the week before. We had more shots at goal than our opposition and their early 2-nil lead was always going to be difficult to pull back. In our credit, you all came together much better in the second half and we saw some great passing and through balls…but we still couldn’t find the back of the net. Good games to Josh..……(M.O.T.M.) who made no mistakes and worked his wing really hard this morning….and also Kad, who worked hard in the midfield to keep us up in their territory. We were unlucky not to grab a 2-2 draw at least but an air ball late in the game sunk our hopes…and our spirits. Hey…..let’s learn from it and move forward ….you did your best…and it was an exciting game. See you Wednesday.
