THE Junior Hoops U8 Eagles played their first game at the soccerdome and what a performance they all gave.
The first few minutes saw eagles a little edgy and gave away some daft goals due to a faster pace of game. With new surroundings and rules they had to adapt quickly, once settled down the game flowed end to end. Lewis in goal was kept busy and made some sensational saves and shoewed confidence by great shouting directions to his defence. Connie was strong defence and took on anyone and anything and good passes clearing the ball , Archie is becoming more confident each week with his tackles and again great shouting from him to his team. It was Alfies first game of the season but you wouldn’t have known he made some fantastic tackles and great passes contributing to a few of our goals. Harry once again covered all the pitch and scored 4 goals with some great finishes and his signature celebration.
Lilyanna was contantly moving forward more passing and even having a shot on goal, Lottie came on in defence and changed to midfield and put in some good tackles and helped to move the ball up the pitc.
Riley was man of the match with his best performance to date using his drag back skills from training to get him out of bad situation in
his own area and then going on to score a goal and he got stuck into everything, It was a great performance from all Eagles showing fantastic determination.
