Match Report NMJFC U7s v Buxton - 19/11/23
Last week was this brand new teams greatest performance so far! It just so happens that the fixture list had thrown up a ‘Repeat Fixture’ and this meant we were facing the same opposition as last week and although we had experienced another extremely wet weekend in the High Peak, the lads were ready, even though it was a 8:45am kick-off, The rain just seemed to stop, at least for a bit anyway!
On the field , this week we were lacking in numbers. Max & Ned were on international duty so Reuben said he’d take the gloves and wait for Goalie Expert to arrive. This took longer than we had thought but Reuben was awesome and never put a foot wrong. Aiden arrived and we were back on our A-Game!
At the back we had to mix it up a little and Teddy said he’d play in defence. He was brilliant and our youngest mini-millers were unlucky not to have an early lead as Teddy played the ball into spaces and Ryan was being presented with opportunities but today they just didn’t seem to want to go in! Luckily, this lad is pure class and next week, I suspect Ryan will score a hat-full!
Myles was also working his magic & finding space. It seemed like the two teams were going to cancel eachother out as nobody could find the breakthrough……
The last few minutes were intense. The boys showed some grit & determination and they were refusing to give up!! Finn took a horrible tackle in the last few minutes but managed to recover. As a coach, this is your job, to motivate the child and paint a picture so they can see the final outcome!
"Go and score the winner Finn" was the direct instruction in response to him being fouled. Outstanding Finley⚽️ He then went and grabbed another and out nowhere and the game was done⚽️
These lads showing us something magical right now 💛🖤POTM goes to our little warrior Finley 🏆 He simply refused to give up!
⚽️🖤💛⚽️
