St Johns 9th September 2006

Our first match of the season was a tricky home game against St Johns. We had played this team a couple of times before and we knew it was going to be a difficult morning.

The A team lost 4-0 and the B's lost 12-0.

I wasn't able to be there on Saturday so Mark will put together a proper match report. I have spoken to Mark and despite the scoreline he was full of praise for the effort and commitment shown by all of our players. Everyone gave their all and that's all we can ask for.

I don't think every game will be as tough as this one, but we are in the top division with a lot of good teams. I think it's worth remembering that we are in this league because we did so well last season. I'm looking forward to the next game at home against East Bergholt.

Once again thanks to Martin Smout, our official photographer.










The B's are defending hard.













I think this is Connor getting a great tackle in.











































We're still defending!













Sams in there somewhere smothering the ball and preventing a goal.





































































It's up there somewhere!






































Aidan breaks out of defense.














They come at us again.














This looks like a goal.













Under pressure again. Every player is back there playing their part.











The A's in action.
















































































































OH hokey cokey cokey!!




































































We seem to be under constant pressure.







































































Jake and Ryan combine well to try to break out of defence and get an attack going.








































Time for some after game comments. We lost both games but there were a lot of positives to take away.

Remember it's a long season. This is only the first game.
