ROCKETS 11 - 2 WARRIORS
A decent result and game which was a lot closer than the score line suggests.
Our U8s Warriors certainly gave the Rockets a shock as they started brilliantly and went 0-2 up. Quite a start as our boys have not been behind in a first quarter since October! A fine second goal from the Warriors woke the boys up and in fairness we didn't panic and we eventually found our passing boots!
Over the next 30 minutes we created loads of good moments as we upped the intensity of tackle, passing and moving. Some of the lads had been slightly selfish on the ball in the opening 10 minutes but once our heads were cleared we played some nice football.
Three of the boys hit hat-tricks - Xander, George and Rory. Austin and Zac both scored quality goals and Austin nearly grabbed a 'worldie' as his long range curler crashed off the post.
Our Warriors are going to be quite a team as they will soon gain the fluency of passing and confidence we have seen develop this year. Both Paul and I felt the Warriors are ahead of the where the Rockets were last year, which is testament to both sides.
In the final play the Warriors tore us to shreds and were unlucky not to grab the goal of the match.
Well done to both sides. MOTM went to Zac for a brilliant display.
