Result: 2 - 2 draw
Players of the day: Sam for excellent goalkeeping in his first game as goalie. Caleb for being a solid & dependable defender.
Areas to develop: Decision making on attack & defence.
Highlights: This was a game we could have won, having held the opposition in their own half for 80% of the game. Both of our goals came from good team work & taking advantage of their broken defence. There were a number of excellent crosses but unfortunately we couldn't get players in the right place to take advantage of the opportunities.
Personally I believed we could win this game without too much difficulty and so I allowed the players more freedom in choosing the positions they wanted to play in.
We wore our smart white strip again and AJ was the Jaguars captain for the day.
Caleb had his last game for the team before he moves to his new home. We will miss Caleb's strong defensive presence that was a strength in our game.
Sam had longed to play as goalie for some time, and he seemed to relish the chance to protect the goal, making some excellent saves and brilliant clearances.
Josh was in the mid-field, making useful passes and tackled strongly.
Cameron was busy in the mid-field, backing up the defenders and had a number of shots at the opposition goal.
Bosco played a strong defensive game and scored a nice long-range goal late in the second half.
Amanda played well on the wing and in defence, making some excellent passes.
Vinnie also played on the wing and showed the opposition his strong ball skills, beating them on numerous occasions.
JD played as striker and managed to get some good touches on the ball.
Vincent also played most of the game as striker and made some useful passes before moving back to his natural position of mid-field.
Andy made some great tackles and useful passes to his team mates before dropping back to defend.
AJ had a few attempts at scoring and played strongly in mid-field.
Aaron continued to stick to his favoured left wing (although I believe he is just as strong with his right foot) and scored a fabulous first goal that went sailing in from long range.
Liam made some good crosses and had a few shots at goal.
Cody started as a striker and then returned to his very solid defence position, tackling effectively and turning the ball around.
All the players seemed to enjoy the game and although I would've preferred to win the game there are a few things to work on in practice on Thursday before our next game.
Sorry - no pictures this week.
