Under 15s Out Of Cup

Our Under 15s went out of the Cup after a disappointing display in Mastergeeha last Saturday on a scoreline of 9 – 3. Over the past few weeks this has been the story of too many of our teams and in the main the reason for the disappointing displays has been the same – poor defending. Ask anyone in sport how do you defend and you will be told that defending is 90% about attitude and belief in your own ability and last Saturday we just did not get in our opponents faces in any part of the pitch and got severely punished. Strangely enough we had at least as much of the ball as them and looked very good at times but with clockwise regularity we gave away possession, got countered, didn’t get back to defend in the required numbers and conceded. A poor start to the new year but we will move on from here hopefully we will have learned one or two things about ourselves from this match, apply ourselves in our next training on Wednesday night so as to improve before our next game.
