Match Report Under 6s, Saturday, 22nd May 2010.

The Under 6s were without an opponent this weekend, as Glen Huon had to forfeit the match. In cool but brilliant sunshine the Under 6s put on an exhibition match to try out their skills and enthusiasm against each other. A three-aside match commenced with Noah, Caleb and Seraphina in “Woodbridge Blue” taking on the “Yellow Bibs” of Rory, Amber, and Ruby. John the Coach was absent this week but his team did him proud.

The match was hard run, energetic, and goal scoring was happening from all boots and all angles. There were some long attacking runs and intense on the ball action with boots flying and the occasional tumble on the muddy pitch. After ten minutes legs were starting to look weary and thoughts had turned to a drink and half time oranges.

The second half commenced with Ella joining the “Woodbridge Blues”. All players seemed to be conserving their energy and relying on penetrating passing and skillful play to make sure they would last until the end of the match. Goals again were coming thick and fast. Ruby retired injured with a splinter in her finger and Caleb readily donned a “Yellow Bib”. There followed a further ten minutes of furious end to end play with lovely attacking and defensive skills on display.

Full time saw a tired, happy, and proud group of young players giving each other plenty of cheers and a few hugs. It was a great game for the whole team and lots of enjoyment for the parents and other fans.
