Matchday 2 - 04/10/2020
U11's played Withymoor Colts East. Started off brightly, playing the ball around nice and making chances, then a silly mistake cost us a goal; we got our heads up and started to play again then we conceded another. The lads got themselves together and got one back to get us back into the match, then through lack of concentration we conceded another; that didn't phase us and we kept pressing and they caught us out going into half time. Half time chat and the lads went back onto the field looking lively and creating opportunities to score but couldn't find the net then we conceded another lack of concentration caught us out again. The lads played really well in stages, just need to stay focused and concentrate a little more; our motm chosen by me was R with a hat trick.
Matchday 1 - 27/09/2020
U11 Safari played Tipton Youth, a well established team - we took a bit to get going and when we did we played some really nice football going up and down the pitch creating chances but couldn't find the net; half time we were losing x-x. After a team talk we turned it around; a lot more positive - heads were up and creating some more chances we finally found the net getting one back lifting the lads heads playing some good football. Battled right to end - final result x-x Tipton our MOTM was R chosen by myself.
