An absolutely fantastic game to watch, as the Arrows really took their learning from Friday nights training and deployed it in the match.
Malpas had been playing for at least a year together but you couldn't really tell; not that they were bad, far from it - they are actually well drilled, but we matched them boy for boy (even when they brought on their two better boys!).
We chased the ball, put in some great tackles and had some great runs down both lines and through the middle. We had more chances than the home team and were just unlucky not to put them away. That again will come.
I was really proud of the boys, please pass this on to them; every single boy did fantastically well.
The trend of results is definitely going in the right direction in terms of score-line, but much more importantly, in how the boys performance, how they are working together and how they are starting to understand their positions more.
Next week is training as usual on Friday and then EITHER training at home then a game vs. Newton Athletic Reds OR an extended training session at our home pitch. I will let you know nearer the time.
One final thing; I'm really sorry for getting there late today. I had been on a IT Security Operational call for my employer since before 7am and had to pick my moment to extract myself from it. I rejoined it when I got back and its only just finished - an 11 hour call! Great thanks to Darren for getting the boys ready whilst I wasn't there, Tom for sitting patiently waiting for me this morning, Rob for the after match treats and to all of you for getting them to the game on time - really appreciated.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
