Friendly v Felixstowe Hawks continued
Dan came on and worked well up and down the flank. The game ended 0-0 which doesn't relate to this exciting game. It could easily have been 6-6.
The B game line up was Ollie in goal, Connor S in defence, Connor R Kyle and Dan across the midfield and Jake & Charlie W up front.
The Hawks took a very early lead and before we knew it were two up. The third goal went in and I thought we were in for a thrashing. The boys rallied and began passing and winning tackles, getting more into the game. At half time we made a few changes. Will replaced Ollie in goal, Kyle moved to defence and Freddie replaced him in the middle. Later on in the half Jack took over from Dan on the left, and Matty replaced Connor on the right.
We lost another goal early in the second half when Will dived over the ball for no apparent reason!! Freddie pulled one back with a shot to the back post from a tight angle 1-4. The passing a moving play improved as the game went on and we started to impose ourselves on the game. Kyle was notable for his performance in defence. Charlie and Jake worked hard up front and were both unlucky not to get on the scoresheet. Freddie got a second after a sustained period of pressure on their goal. He was able to control the ball in the box and turn his defender, blasting it high into the corner over the keeper. 2-4. In the dying minutes Jack was brought down in the box, losing a boot in the process and bravely stood up and demanded the penalty. Infront of his team mates(Us) and his school mates(The Hawks) he had the bottle to go for it. Only to scuff the shot and make it an easy save for the keeper. I'm sure no one mentioned it when they went back to school!!!
The game ended straight after the penalty. Considering we were 4-0 down at one point the boys should good character fighting back and but for a little bit of luck might have even taken the game.
overall they were two good games to try out our new formation. We think it worked well and are looking forward to the start of the season.
