Match Report Round 7
U6 SKOKO P.C.Y.C. Parramatta FC 6 def U6 Ermington United Cahill 1
Say it with me people: gooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!! Yes we scored a goal. I said last week that a goal was our goal and I guess that all of that self-belief motivational stuff does have some merit after all. When I say "we" scored a goal I really mean we "sort of" scored a goal. Picture it: we were standing in front of the PCYC goal awaiting their goal kick. The kick, a real screamer, is blocked by the graceful knee of Lexie. It heads back towards the goal. One of the PCYC players tries to kick it out of the goal area, it hits another PCYC player goes backwards and rolls across the goal line. So while "they" made the ball go across the line, we made them make the ball go across the line. Check the score book: we got a goal!
The player of the match award this week went to Joel. It is a good thing that he is in kindergarten and doesn't know the meaning of the word "quit". He plays like the devil and just won't let go of that ball. Well done! Geordie showed winged heels this week with two of the most amazing field length runs you will ever see. If you looked over the other side of the field, you would have seen Fraser working to do the same. James and Jack were like sharks swimming around the pack, biting and picking off the strays. Seb put his body on the line with some great defence, AJ used his big boots to fire cannonballs and Lexie, in addition to "scoring", provided the passes needed to get the ball to the other side of the field.
PCYC played a great game and Ermo fought them all the way. Every week we are getting better and becoming an excellent team. Without any prompting from me tactics are emerging. Our players are learning to read the play and are preempting the motion of the ball. It is a truly miraculous thing to watch. The goal for next week is a goal that *we* score (against the other team).
