U12 Blues end season with disappointing defeat!

Posted in U12 Blue News ... April 21st, 2010

Our final game of the season was against Twyford Comets, who were bootom of the league, 2 points behind us and AFC Henley. You could tell from the first 10 minutes that only one team had the desire and application to do all they could to get the three points, and it wasn’t us!! We lost 2-0, which meant that Twyford climbed to third from bottom, and knocked us down to 2nd from bottom. The best chance we had was a free-kick in the second half that James M hit just over the bar. He was rewarded with man of the match for that effort.

It was a disappointing end to a very tough season for the boys, who in reality, were playing a division (or even two) above themselves in terms of ability. 2nd from bottom feels like a small achievement, especially as were bottom for so long. The boys deserved not to come bottom for their spirit and commitment to attend training and matches. There have been very few weeks where we have not had the whole squad (15) turn up for training on Wednesday evenings and the match on saturday mornings.

On behalf of Roger and myself we would like to thank the boys and their parents for their effort and commitment this season, and hope that they use it as a massive learning curve in their football development. Let’s hope for a better season, results wise, in 2010-2011.
