After a mid week drop out Leopards managed get an away friendly against a very strong and physical Golborne Sharks.
The summer sunshine has well and truly gone as all 3 quarters were played in rain. A heavy downpour before the start meant all kids started the game drenched.
The game was played in 3 quarters and for the 1st quarter and half the leopards played some of the best football I’ve seen them play.
The 1st quarter we started of slow and we’re soon behind but after that we dominated Teddy was rock solid at the back winning every tackle and him and Joshua who had his best game we’re working really well together. Joshua got a goal and soon grabbed another after a quick throw in from Alex and Ollie scored a great free kick.
2nd quarter we started of well but found ourselves defending for most of the half and conceded a few. Dylan was absolutely outstanding in the net and his triple save was awesome.
All this week in training we have been working on our shooting and being quicker at it. It was great to see Josh B put this in practice and he was rewarded with a great goal.
3rd quarter their was a lot of tired legs and last few minutes we conceded goals.
Overall it was a great team performance against a very good Golborne side. All the lads battled hard and it was great see them never give up
