It was the first game of the season for the boys and it is fair to say that every player for both Stoke Golding and Kingsway Rangers Celtic tried their hardest in what was a very enjoyable game.
For the game we had 9 players to choose from who were Zane, Curtis, Henry, Jojo, Elliot, Dylan, Henry, Rocco and Sam. This meant that we were able to try the boys in different positions to see how they got on.
During the game we had 4 different goalkeepers, Rocco, Zane, Sam and Jojo all of whom did themselves proud. A number of the team were lucky enough to score a goal, Jojo (2), Henry (1), Curtis (1) and Dylan (1).
Football is all about team work and so it is important not to forget the excellent defending that Rocco, Zane and Sam did throughout the game. We also had Alvaro, who ran his legs off on the right midfield, and Elliot, who ran his legs up on the left and upfront.
It was really encouraging to see how the team have developed, there was a lot more passing and moving and the kids seemed to get to grips with coach Olly's new formation.
We finished off with a penalty shoot-out with Jojo in goals where he pulled off a number of fantastic saves. It was really enjoyable afternoon of football. Bring on the next fixture!!!!!
