Scotton's U9s kicked off their season in great style with some very impressive victories and scorelines against a young but very willing and committed Tockwith side. With the goals flying in thick and fast even the match reporter (thanks Ollie) found it hard to keep up. While the scorelines were emphatic - one of the most pleasing aspect was the overall commitment by all players. Many boys were asked to play in unfamilar positions and formations as the Coaches had the luxury of being able to try out a few options but all stuck to their tasks. It was great to have so many of the boys trouble the scorers showing that the team has goals in it from all positions - and those that didn't find the net this week were all certainly part of a strong defense that managed to prevent Tockwith scoring a single goal no matter how hard they pushed. Especially well done to Tockwith for always playing with a smile.
A tricky decision to single out one, as there were great performances all over the pitch - but Scotton's Man of the Match's, not only for his goals but for his all round attitude and flexibility went to James Callis. Well done James but very well done to the whole team. Roll on Ripley in a couple of weeks which - while providing a stiff test - if we continue to train hard and practice our ball retention and support play - we will have a great chance.
