Junior U/11 League – Little Devils go top for first time

 GFL Word of praise to all the teams in junior under 11 league, as coach/ welfare officer/organiser for the league I cannot always get down as often as I would like due to the senior Monday League at Second Avenue.  An advantage of not seeing the teams week in week out is I can gauge the progress of the teams.  last night the teams and players really impressed me; every game had special moments when players played passes that made me think ‘how did he see that pass?’ Players displayed technical skills that can go missing in 11v11 because the focus in 11 v11 has to be ‘long ball’ simply because of the greater size of the pitch.

An interesting statistic at the bottom of the league, West Marsh average a goal per game for and only two against.  With 11 teams in the league you would anticipate the goal difference to be huge yet it matches East Coast ‘A’ who are currently fourth.

Two new teams have declared an interest to join future league.
