Spring Soccer – Game 6

Tied St. Johns 2-2; we lost to them 2-0 in game three so this is an improvement.  It’s a major improvement given how we started off; Matthew in goal giving up two really soft soft goals.  Don’t know what happened and why he was so tentative but he didn’t play in goal like I’ve ever seen him before and sadly, his Dad yelled at him quite a bit to get his act together.

He did though, and played well for the rest of the half and had his chances in the second half as we rallied to tie the game.

Christopher played really well….asked him to ‘jockey’ back like we’ve asked but to try and cut down on the lunging to attack…just keep jockeying back and keep the ball between him and the goal and when the guy kicks it into his legs take it from him.  He was very solid doing just that. 

Two games left; both next weekend and then the year-end party.
