Div 2 Seniors Tournament 13th Dec 09 at Wymondham
On 13th December we played a Seniors Div 2 tournament at Wymondham leisure centre near Norwich, the team consisted of:
Todd Halfpenny, Andrew Stewart, Alan Burgess, Mat Burgess, Karl !, Jake Mansfield, Michael Adams (GK) & Ryan Mills (GK)
First game against Ely: We started well knocking the ball around creating chances but failed to put most of them in the net when it mattered. Ryan had a tough start having shots fired at him from all angles some from far out. Ely were a relativly young team & could get behind our defense too easily scoring 6 by the end of first half. Todd, Andrew, Mat & Alan all scored one each making it 6-4 to Norwich. Second half & Michael had to make plenty of saves to keep them at bay but they still got 3 past him, Todd & Andrew got one more each making it 9-6 to Ely.
Second game against Norwich: This game was fairly evenly matched between both sides with counter attack after counter attack going on, by the end of first half it was 4-3 to Norwich, Alan scored 1 & Jake scoring 2 nice goals from little flicks. Second half it was much the same & i thought we could win it but we hit there goal posts so many times it was crazy. We didnt score at all this half & they got two more in making it 6-3 to Norwich.
Third game against Farnham: Michael opted to go in goal first half & did a great job saving most of what they had to fire at him but they got one past him just before end of first half. We didnt score at all this game for some strange reason although we had many many chances, there goal keeper was very good & covered all the spaces. Ryan was in goal next half & Farnham played on his inexperience drawing him out of goal & scoring at will although he did make some good saves. Final score 11-0 to Farnham.
Fourth game against Houghton Regis: These were a very mature & experienced team good at defence & attack with a very good goal keeper who is very difficult to score past. This was allways going to be our most difficult game we thought & by now in the fourth game of the day Letchworth were tired & had a few injury knocks. They scored 5 past us in the first half with Andrew also getting one then 6 past us in the second half making it 11-1 to Houghton Regis.
Big thanks go to Todd for being our refferee allways playing then reffing or reffing then playing & constantly changing from one kit to the other to be on time with hardly a rest between the two. Is that comittment or what !
Our next tournament is on 10th January 2010 hosted by England Ladies at Manningtree, hope to see you there.
Belated Christmas wishes & A Happy New Year
