Starting line-up for Theale Tigers Blacks v Ashridge Park United (A) 24/04/21.
Subs:
Harrison, Kai, James S, James P.
Absent:
Rahul (Illness), Dan (Cricket).
We struggled to get going, finding ourselves under pressure for a majority of the opening 15 minutes. Freddie made a brilliant stop to deny a goal, but the resulting corner ended in a goal for the opposition.
Harrison equalised with a cross-turned-shot from out wide (assisted by Oscar). We missed a number of easy chances in the first half and at half-time the score was 1-1.
We moved Lewis to right midfield in the second half to provide support for the fullbacks who they kept doubling up on.
After great work from Harrison, James S and Lewis, Carn converted a cross to put us in the lead. It was our best team goal of the season so far.
Kai, Elliot (2) and Evan added to the scoreline to record an emphatic 6-1 win. Although the opposition failed to trouble us in the second half, the scoreline didn't reflect the difficulty of the game and the opposition.
Evan won MOTM for a well taken goal as well as an assist.
Other key perfomances came from Ellis, Tom (leadership) and Freddie looked very assured in goal after a wobbly performance last week.
Harrison and Elliot, although very good individual players, need to start trusting their team-mates more.

The U10 age group is the golden window for developing ball mastery. Miss it, and you're playing catch-up forever. Here's how to get it right.
