Match Report NMJFC U10 Scorpions v Glossop North End Oranges - 15/12/24

Writer's picture: R.OakesR.Oakes

We’ve gone all the way round and played everyone at least once in the league this season.


It’s been a fantastic first half of the season for the Scorpions with some great performances from all 10 of our players.  Great player development and progression, which as coaches is something that makes us super proud.


Sundays game against Glossop, we knew was going to be a battle, we said before the game… just play your game, make sure you do your best. 

We started with Frankie between the sticks, Will and Dayvd at the back, Callum the central pivot in midfield, Dylan on the left, Leo on the right and Rocco T holding the line upfront.


It was very much all guns blazing early on with the Scorpions having some early success with Leo using his pace to leave the defender in his wake.  The Glossop goalie was playing very much as a sweeper keeper and was an extra defender for them time and time again.


The Scorpions kept pushing but were snatching at chances, Rocco then Ted each time they got forward.  At the other end Frankie was busy making save after save.


Half time team talk was simple… just play our game, not theirs and above all don’t panic.


The Scorpions started playing like the team we know they are. Leo had another shot from a tight angle, Dylan was relentless on the left constantly pushing forward. Some of the corners from Dylan and Leo were sheer quality.


Ted was the little dynamo we know he is, he didn’t stop running… and smiling 👍🏻…. Will was Mr Solid at the back. Callum played his heart out and used the tactics we’ve done in training to pick up loose balls from corners.


PoTM was a complete agreement from the coaches. Probably our fastest developing player. Dayvd was in the right place at the right time. The amount of times we shouted ‘well done Dayvd’  was incredible. When Dayvd is on the sidelines, he’s shouting encouragement to his team. Making them aware of unmarked players and being an all round team player 👏🏻


Everyone played with such passion today. Well done Scorpions.  Enjoy the Christmas break and we go again in January (with a local derby 👊🏻)
