Match
Reports Saturday:
Hotspurs
Gold Vs Hotspurs Black Won 3-0: A well played
game in both defence and attack. The guys controlled the ball well on a muddy
ground and held their positions for most of the game, which resulted in a great
goal from Kyle. Goals also to Jonny and Tom H. Jacob and Jordan were terrific
as goal keepers, well done team.
Ryan Weston, Nick and Jack played very well
for the Black team. This was a good games from both teams.
Match Reports v United:
Seniors: Won 3-1
A very tough game with both teams playing exciting soccer. The pace was fast and there was very little space on the park. The Spurs played with great determination and this was a deciding factor. Top games from the whole team with Millsy leading from the front. Robert Tuksar scored twice and the goal from Bones was a cracker! The defence was much busier this week and Luke , Spokesy and the two Daniel’s did the job in style. Well done a great win!
Thirds: Lost 0-2:
The game against United started off in an even manner, both teams jostled for
control of the midfield, with neither team having any good chances at goal,
even though we did more defending than United. As the half progressed we lost
concentration and composure and started to be consistently beaten to the ball
and not find our players with poor passing. By half time we had held off their
challenge and went in at nil all. The second half was not a pretty sight, which
disappointed the coach and spectators, we need a serious change in attitude and
effort on the field and this was clearly explained to the team during Peter's
post match post mortem, The end result was an extremely disappointing 2 nil loss
in a game where very few with the exception of Rhys could walk away with any
respect. We can only improve!
U'15's: Won 4-0:
The boys played an extremely good first half with Luke scoring the first goal.
David put a beautiful ball over straight on to Bens head for our second and
Luke did the same for Mitchell to score with an another header. We could have
been up 4 if Uniteds keeper did not pull off the save of the year after Daniels
scorching drive from about 25 yards. United were a tough defence to crack in
the second half and the only goal we scored was from a piece of individual
brilliance from Mitchell when he turned his defender and struck a volley into
the top right corner. Our midfield dominated by going hard and being first to
the ball. It is great to see 14 young men wanting to play so hard for each
other. Keep it up boys. Player of the Week : Matt Clement for running his butt
off all day.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: Our
club president was overheard saying " When i was at uni I used to clean
Dirty Dicks!" work that one out.
U14's Drew 3-3:
This was a great game to watch for a Hotspurs supporter. Our boys began the game with the
determination they usually show after a wake-up call. And this time they played that way for the full game. All the goals scored (by the Matt Townsend,
Matt Reid and Andrew) were set up beautifully and showed a bit of forward
thinking. Our players seemed to go after the ball more aggressively from the
starting whistle. There was some impressive tackling from Luke, Michael, Robbie
and Zac and Todd kept his cool right to the nail-biting finish. We have broken
the United-wins-by-one jinx. Let's go one better next time!
U13's: Lost 2-5:
Kids,the game was lacking the Hotspurs spirit of getting stuck right into the
game . thats why we went down to United . Goals scored by David and Caleb .
Came on girls and boys lets lift our spirits and play as a team .
U11's: Won 4-0: What a game ! There had been rodomontade
before the game and boy did we come through with the goods. This writer is very pleased with the
improvement in skill levels, especially the passing and big kicks from the
back. After ten minutes we had the
first goal from a smashing shot by Aleke after a good pass through by Chris C. The second came from a cross from the left
by Chris W which James N finished with a great lob.The second half was a little
scrappy but we tried hard and James E got two more, though their goal keeper
stopped
a
number of good shots. Michael had
little work in goal with Paddy, Jake, Jason and Gena solid in defence. Our midfield was the key to the game with
Robert G, Robert B, Adrian, Brent, Tom and Blake running all day making it hard
for our opposition to get any rhythm. Star Player - Jake Gardiner
U10's: won 5-0:
A much improved performance from the under 10's. After a slow start to the game
the guys started to play some great soccer resulting in a two goal lead at the
break. Teamwork was the order for the day and the guys did'nt disappoint with
several great goals set up through crisp, neat passing and lethal
finishing. It was great to have Rebecca
and Jocelyn backing up after rep duties and both put in stirling defensive
efforts. James Ellis was given a break from goalkeeping and he starred on the
pitch with several fantastic runs and great layoffs. Phillip robbie worked hard
and deservedly scored a great solo goal 15 seconds into the second half. Dylan
turned in his best match to date. Star Player award - Jocelyn Bartram for very
strong defence
