ROCKETS 1 : 1 ELTON YOUTH
In September we played Elton Youth and it was one-way traffic in a tough 1 : 4 defeat.
Today we completely dominated the game and took a positive result in a game which we deserved to win.
Its not an understatement to say that we won every battle, attacked the ball and were aggressive but fair. The Elton coach said we were one of the best teams they had played, which just shows how far we've come in a very short space of time. Something has clicked in terms of passing and movement but added to that is the confidence which has come from our recent results and form.
We started the game very well but went behind to an unstoppable shot from Elton's talented forward (ex Man U academy).
From there on we really dominated and started to move Elton around with our play. In the third quarter the ball broke from a great move and Harry put us level with a cool finish.
The Elton keeper somehow clawed a screamer around the post late on and stopped one on the line by sitting on the ball!
Today one player just edged the MOTM award for his desire, tackling and getting his head up to try and find the right pass. Zac is MOTM but honestly all the lads played their parts today.
It's really good to see the trust the lads now have in each other and the spirit in the squad is great. If we can keep progressing we could have a great second half to the season and going into tournaments in May.
Again, thanks for the support from our parents and thanks also to Elton players and coaches for a terrific match.
