Rockets 2 : 3 Blacon Youth
After a good training session with Robbie Mills we could see some signs this morning that we were not chasing the ball as much and we are trusting our team mates more. We will continue to work on this over the coming weeks.
We started the game very quickly and went two up with goals scored by Zac and Bailey. At two up we looked pretty comfortable but as Blacon settled and started to move the ball we missed a few key tackles and chances to clear the ball to concede a goal which in fairness Blacon deserved.
The game was very evenly balanced and on many occasions we looked as though we could break through the Blacon defence to get in on their goal. The huge pitch made for lots of space for both teams.
The two goals that put Blacon level and then ahead were simple errors that we can work on and eradicate in training. We know we must tackle and clear our lines from corners and goal kicks and it's fair to say both goals were very, very soft. Enough said!
At the other end Blacon's goalie saved from Zac who was through on goal, William hit the post and Bailey just slipped as he was about to tap in. We were very unlucky not to equalise and after the errors in the third quarter we defended much better in the final 10 minutes.
The boys fought right until the end as Blacon "got stuck in" desperately breaking up our play with some boisterous tackles. The lads were disappointed but can be proud of a good performance against a team who until this week were playing a league above us.
Thanks for great support and encouragement from parents and to Antonio for coaching support.
