Match Report 04/10/14 - Waverton Rockets V Saughall Colts

Waverton 4  v Saughall 4

Another four all draw, so everyone went home happy again!

Waverton cruised through the gears early on with goals from Frank and Alex and soon we were 3-0 up! We sensed a big score and sat back in the second quarter. Saughall brought on fresh faces and pinned us back with some decent, strong football getting back to 3:2.

An even final two quarters saw Waverton go 4:3 up before Saughall equalised with 5 minutes to go with a very debatable goal (kicking it from Williams hands). Waverton kept trying to pass the ball from the back and we had a few scary moments. Going forward we looked great and kept hitting them on break. Only some brilliant saves from the Saughall keeper kept them in the game.

James, Alex, and Rory played well throughout and kept trying to do the right thing and play our passing game. Jakob and Jacob were great going forward and had some strong runs. Frank was a constant threat with strong running, tackling and goals. William was strong in defence and ended the game playing two quarters in goal and showing good instincts as "sweeper keeper" to rush off his line!

Special mention to Frank Rose who was spotted by Man Utd scouts and asked to go for a trial with Man Utd academy.

Well done boys.

Thanks to parents for helping with set-up.

Training and matches - Information for parents

For any parents who weren't at training last Saturday - the coaches mentioned to the parents after training that any boys who don't play in a match on a Saturday and miss training won't be selected for a match the following week, so please do your best to attend training every week if you want your boy to play in a match. Please make sure that you register your boy with Marc (Toby's dad) or Rebecca (Oscar's mum) when you arrive at training and pay your £2 weekly subscription.

Also any boys who have not submitted a registration form and paid the annual subscription cannot play in a match as they are not insured.

Finally, any boys who play in a match but don't attend training still need to pay the weekly subscription. Please make sure that you give this money either to one of the coaches at the match (Rob, Steve, Chris or Colin) or Marc or Rebecca if they are at the same match.

Many thanks,

AFC Waverton Under 7s coaches.
