Under 9's

Nidderdale 'Friendly' League Squad
 

BECKWITHSHAW  v  TOCKWITH TROJANS


 
         
 

Well, you kept me waiting to the last game of the season, but, finally, you proved to me, your mums and dads and most importantly yourselves, that you could win games. WELL DONE ALL OF YOU.

The league match set off at a hectic pace, dictated by the Trojans, and never let-up. Edward did not have to do too much in goal but coped well with what came his way. Good kicking, something he has really worked on this season, turned defence into attack. Sophie was her usual reliable self, rarely beaten in defence and with a fantastic throw, which set us up time and again in attack. Catherine defended well and pushed forward confidently with the ball creating opportunities for her teammates. Eugene, making a return to the defence was back to his old battling self and put in a couple of last line of defence challenges. Luke played very strongly and confidently in midfield along-side Scott, who, having been pushed up the park for this game showed true grit in overcoming a second-half injury to score our winning goal. George was very busy up front, putting pressure on the opposition defence and helping to create scoring opportunities.

The second match was played at much the same pace with Olly being called upon time and again to show safe hands and be a real presence in the goal. Stephanie was excellent at the centre of defence. Bex played a real captains role tracking back to force attackers wide and frustrate the opposition. Ashley had his best game of the season with a really confident display. April worked hard from start to finish and never gave up on the ball. Abi scared the opposition on a number of occasions and scored a lovely goal after beating a couple of the Beckwithshaw team along the way. Alexander showed flashes of inspiration and great dribbling technique.

 
 


A great way to finish the season, on a high note.
