ELITE COME STRONG LATE IN SEASON

Lions Pride 5 YMCA 8

Cold
bitter night would have been marvellous to be indoors!

YMCA
introduced new player Jordan, which makes life difficult when team has a set
way of playing and new player is not integrated into their tactics.  Immediate effect was not noticeable as YMCA
opened a 3 goal lead, destroyed by half time as Lions’ fought back to
level.  Several times YMCA have opened a
lead only to lose out, would this happen again? 
Quickly after the second half restart a two goal lead was re-opened, and
for the first time this league YMCA took a set back and went on to win. 

Will
not mention player name that gets 2011 ‘open goal – miss of season.’

Final
score 8-5.

Red Dragons 2 Elite 4

Tight
game, Red Dragon’s never giving the opposition an easy game, they defend to the
last and score well engineered goals. 
Both teams went into game having scored almost same number of goals,
Elite, on a late burst of form have conceded more over season; therein lay the
difference in league placing.  Elite
continued recent form into this game and always had the edge over Dragon’s.  The score reflecting balance of game.

Last
league Elite was Champions, no disgrace in missing out 2011 as top teams have strengthened
and new teams have surprised.

 

Little Devils 8 Futsal Tigers 4

Little
Devils was on their game against a very strong Tigers.  Four goals ahead at break, Devil’s nearly hit
a bad patch, but came through it stronger for the experience.  Should players this age know how to close out
a game when they are four goals up?  Is
attack the best form of defence? 

 Start the debate. 

For
the anoraks:

Panthers
& Discoveries never had a drawn game.

Elite
& Dynamite drew most games.

Top scorers,
Panthers, Tigers & Fusion.

Fusion.

Most

Best

could break into group, they are 9 behind Tigers.
