Action - Football

Football this week was tough. We had the Rosslyn friendly on Tuesday, so that took over from the tuesday practice, but apart from that we still had Monday practice thursday practice (the other players usually have wednesday morning practice as well, but our coach cancelled it; though unfortunately because i do volleyball, i had to got to volleyball practice, which was incredibly tiring).

Firstly, the game. We lost. That's all i really need to say but i'll say more anyway. The final score was 5-0, and they just completely outplayed us. They were much fitter, and just seemed to be more alive, with more determination than us. And, they were also home with their own referees who gave some pretty bad decisions, but i'm not blaming that. So yeah, bring on the intense practices of the rest of the week...

Well, thursday wasn't actually as hard as i was expecting it to be. What we did was we worked on a new style of play that our coach wants us to learn so that we can implement it as soon as possible and become a very exciting team to watch. This new gameplay revolved around passing and moving very quickly, finding little gaps, and just trying to keep the passes flowing without holding onto the ball too long. And we were pretty successful, i must admit. We weren't perfect, but we did do a pretty good job of picking up exactly what we needed to do and getting it done.

Okay, i say that it wasn't as hard as i expected, but passing and moving around constantly in a game-situation is still pretty energy-consuming. I mean, try constantly moving for about forty minutes straight. It's HARD.
