U18 ( Pemberton) won in the last 5 minutes 2-1,completely dominated did not finish multiple opportunities.
U17 (Rogers) lost 2-1the team we played was good, but not better than us. We kept on their half probably 60%.
We had multiple opportunities but could not put the goal in the net.
I asked some of the boys if they were nervous when they shot, as if they felt they had to get it in NOW because it would be their only chance. They agree that it was a difficult thing to stay calm. They crossed the ball well just like we did in practice. They moved well for the most part. It seems they’re getting out of the habit of boot ball (good sign). We need to be more confident on ball control and finishing without pressure to connect with the net on every try. It seems that we get down when we miss as if it’s the end of the world and then the other team counters for a score. We need to stay positive with every good shot due to the position we get into to even attempt for a goal. The other thing is when we do score a goal it’s as if it were no big deal. The U18 (Ben Scott) got so excited that they scored he yelled mightily and pumped the others in to believing they could triumph.
