Week 1 (25 July)
RESULT: LOSS 1-6
SCORERS: Matthew Pitman
The first half was a very tight contest after an early goal by WRR.
WRR constantly attacked our goal but great saving by Tom, our goal keeper, kept them from scoring again in this half. Mention must be made to Sam Liu who saved a certain goal just in front of the goal line by heading the shot away to relieve the defense and prevent WRR scoring. Alex was also persistent in defense and successful in determined tackling.
Harry’s strong throw-ins gained us great ground and Aiden was unfortunate to miss a penalty shot. The score at half-time was 0:1.
Early attack in the second half saw WRR score again and this gave them the confidence and momentum to continue on to the win. Zech showed great efforts in the goal and his “never-say die” attitude helped the team immensely. Harry was most unfortunate that his powerful penalty kick hit the goal post and deflected away, but his effort was rewarded soon after with a well-positioned cross picked up by Matt P who landed the ball into the goal to score our only goal for the game.
Thanks to our valuable substitutes Zech, David and Daniel for their great contributions.
