Charger's First Game

For a first up game guys, we did really well. Thanks to everyone for coming on time and being so enthusiastic! Even though we went down 23-5, we can hold our heads high with many of us not having played before. Wasn’t it a great moment when we scored our first few goals – and we had the subs to cheer it too ;)

Here’s what I observed from the game:

Julie – played a great game in attack, moving the ball around quickly and got us going with the first few goals! Judged MVP by the refs for this game!

Mandy – took no time to get into the game and really took it to the other team. Whenever there were multiple hands fighting for a ball, it seemed like one always belonged to hers! Belongs in the midfield!

Grace – was a sensational busy bee for us in the center, running everywhere it seemed. Gave some great quick runs down the corridor to move the ball forward quickly and effected some great opportunity for the shooters.

Katie – gave great service in middle/defense. Fed the runners with quality ball passes and then stuck close onto her opposite number when the other team was on attack. Hope you recover from injury super quick! You’re much needed!

Carol – did an ace job on Goal Defense. Played consistently over four quarters and was competitive throughout. Made some great scrabbles for the ball in the last line of defense, whether it was getting low to get a spilled ball or jumping for a contest.

Eddie – Played thru the first half in attack and played really well with Julie in the latter portions to move the ball around in the scoring circle and set up those first few goals. Really good at doing those ‘bouncing passes’

PP – played in attack to start with but seemed to excel after going to defense. Provided some timely interceptions and block and actually put some great pressure on the shooters (something I wasn’t able to do ;)

Scott – Had the job on the BIG goal shooter for the night and did the job really well, considering how much ball was going down there! Threw some nice sharp passes out of the D – can’t wait to see how you play in other positions and see how you do!

Ken – the man who didn’t want to play in attack and shoot for goal, yet netted 2 of them for our team! I see hidden potential that we’re going to harness. Ran hard to get into good position numerous times. Good job!

Peter L – provided the extra man for us in the second half, and placed himself in good positions for receives. Gave off good passes to the attack (particularly on free throws into the forward line) that allowed us to set up for a shot at goal.

Looking forward to the next game! (Note: Fixture is on the top right)
