It’s May 15 and finally, we get a game played. Almost didn’t play this one….the rain wiped out most of the other games today (and our 2nd game in the afternoon) but the first one was scheduled (we didn’t know this..) indoors.
The boys won 5-2….they scored late, and we missed more than a few opportunities. Pretty good outing for the 1st game…this team has moved up a division and seemed to control most of this game. Matthew had a great game, he had one definite assist, one ‘assist’ where he did most of the work to get the ball to the middle, and then a goal on a penalty kick when he drove inside and kicked the ball into a defender’s arms.
You can click on the photo and see the video. When I was taping I could hear the guy (and you can hear him too…) saying “hard and low, Matthew”. And I knew, even as I was taping it, that there was absolutely no way that he would kick it low.
