Always has his defensive brain on and tracked back well to help out his defence. Taylor took up an attacking midfield roll and played really well. Broke up play well in the centre and made some great runs forward.

Star Player this week: Theo Tomlinson

In both games the boys played really well. Due to numbers turning up they played both games with no subs so by the end fatigue had kicked in with the playing surface but playing together they rallied and got the results they deserved. Well done boys.

Game 1

Tommy played this game in goal and put in an excellent performance making some brilliant saves and bravely coming off his line to win the ball, he was unlucky not to keep a clean sheet. Olek had a great defensive game putting in hard tackles and owned his area very well and showed good ball control when pushing forward. Shaun showed some good footwork and pressed hard when chasing the ball and put in a superb pass for the first goal. Cameron was quick on his feet and ran for the whole game setting up the second goal and was unlucky not to score himself hitting the woodwork.

Game 2

Shaun started with the gloves and showed impressive distribution leading to some good counter play, in the second half he carried on an impressive midfield presence as in the first game. Cameron continuously ran for his time on the pitch making some important tackles and brilliant runs forward when the team was on the attack. Olek had one of his best attacking performance making good runs down the wing and excellent crossing into the box setting up the first goal and got some shots in too. Tommys improving confidence showed with some excellent footwork and quick thinking caused Chinnor problems and he set up the second goal after a nutmeg and pinpoint through ball.

An excellent performance from all and so happy to see a constant improvement every week, also thanks to Chinnor for lending us players to make up numbers.
