Broadstone Braves Vs Weymouth Wyke Victoria

Braves 6 - Weymouth Wyke Victoria 1

10 Players and no substitutes....what a game!

Every member of the team played their heart out today despite being reduced in number, what a fantastic effort by all the lads...

The defensive lineout from right to left of Mark Donachy, Sam Klein, Tristan Jalie and Ben Blades proved to be formidable, very rarely were Weymouth able to break through and when they did our defenders covered off each other and won back possesion. Clearing the ball forward to our wingers Ben Stocker (left) and Luke Woodhouse (right) they were assisted by Alex Sharp who played alone in mid-field and put in a brilliant performance filling in the gap.

Ben and Luke monopolised the wings and fought hard to gain ground demonstrating some superb control and passing moves...at last, control the ball, head up, look for space, pass and move; the drills came together we'd been practising in training. Working with Josh Powley and Chris Birrel our attacking force proved too much for Weymouth, some excellent through balls demonstrated by all four players meant our opportunities at goal just kept coming.

Luke Woodhouse scored 2, Josh Powley scored 2, Ben Stocker 1 and Chris Birrell 1...a great team effort by all made these opportunities at goal possible. The 'Braves' should all feel very proud of themselves.

That's three great wins in a row despite dwindling player numbers...brilliant! The final match of the season will be against Lytchett at their home ground in Upton on the 9th May 2010 ( I'll let you know the details nearer the time). It would be good to think we can get all the team together for the last match...but failing that then hopefully we can all meet up at the end of season tournament on the Saturday 8th May 2010.

Alan Millward has contacted me concerning the R&T Tournament next weekend. He has yet to receive details of the event itself and is unsure of how many he can register. It may be that he is limited as to numbers and so I have left it to him to select what will hopefully be 6 players from our team to join the Colts for the event. I shall contact the parents of those boys that he would wish to take part as and when I'm notified who he has selected...please don't be disappointed if you aren't given the opportunity because we've still got the most important match to attend to and that's against Lytchett in two weeks time!

Excellent effort...very proud!
