Report on final JV Soccer Game of the season on Thursday Nov 6th, 2008

The JV soccer Team finished their season with a fun game in the rain. The team lost to Rumsey 5 to 1 with Neil scoring on a penalty kick. The fun part was towards the end of the game when Rumsey played some of their younger players and DDS became competitive. The JV win loss recorder for the season was not the best but the players seemed to enjoy themselves and there was a great deal of individual improvement during the season. Many thanks to all the parents who provided snacks for the games and thanks for all the cheering support from the side lines. Our special team thanks goes to Mrs. Yager, our bus driver. Don't forget everyone is invited to join the fun on Wed. when the Varsity Team takes on the Staff/Parents Team; followed by Pizza.

Match Report for Varsity Soccer v Oakwood School on Friday Nov 7th, 2008

Although we won this game 4-3, it was probably our least impressive performance of the season. The field was poor and the opposition provided very little threat throughout the game. However, we failed to put passes together and lapsed back into "pin ball" soccer routines. We are a better team than this performance suggested. Chloe, Seb (2) and Andrew scored our goals which were all well taken. Andrew in particular, worked tirelessly in midfield and scored an excellent individual goal. Defensively, we were not at our best and gave our opponents far too much room to manouvre. Let's hope we can get it back together for our final game of the season at Kildonan School on Monday Nov 10th.

Report on Varsity game v Washington Montessori on Wed Nov 5, 2008

Thuis was really a game of "two halves" for us. In the first half we played some excellent soccer, in fact the best we have played all season. The score at half time was 2-1 to Wash Mont. We passed well, supported each other superbly, covered each other in defense and worked hard all round the field. Alexa and Chris were solid at the back and Jon and Nick covered very well indeed. In Midfield, Matt husled and bustled, Roan sprayed the passes and Isabel produced a hard working defensive and attacking display. Alex worked some good one twos on the wing and Jackson and Sebastian were firing in shots. Jackson indeed found the roof of the net with a bullet of a shot.
The second half promised much but with some extended pressure from Wash Mont paying off, we soon found ourselves 5-1 down with only 10 mins gone in the second half. After this, we lost a bit of heart but kept battling on with the final score reaching 7-1.Andrew came on and worked hard, Alex had a good chance and Jackson again went close. All in all, an encouraging game for the future!

JV Soccer Report v Washington Montessori on Monday November 3rd, 2008

The JV soccer team was defeated Monday by Wash. Mont. The final score was 4-1 with Jake scoring DDS only goal. The game was tied until about 8 minutes left when DDS ran out of steam and Wash Mont. scored three quick goals. Wash. Mont. is a fun team to play because both teams are the same age and size. This equality in the teams allows DDS to execute skills they have been practicing. Yesterday the offense was crossing the ball and playing give and go down the field. It was wonderful and many players had shots on goal because of it. Our only problem was our shoots were directly to the goal keeper. Our last game is against Rumsey at Rumsey this Thursday.

Varsity Soccer Game v Trinity Pawling on Thursday October 30th, 2008

We lost the game 5-0 but all in all, this was one of our best performances of the season. Playing against a generally older and stronger group of boys, we had a terrific first half and although we were three down at the break, we did have chances to score but found that our finishing was once more wanting. Goals just seem very hard to come by for this team this year! Whilst we were defending stoutly with Alexa and Isabel forming the strength in the middle and Chris, Jon and Ellie providing full back support, our midfield was creating some good balls for our forwards. Roan, Andrew and Matt worked hard in midfield and forwards, Alex, Sebastian, Eddie ans Jackson were all looking for runs to make at goal. Still, again the ball did not fall for us and precious chances were wasted. In the second half, playing with the wind, we did not make the most of our opportunities, and team morale dropped a little when we leaked another goal. If we are to finish the season on a high, we will need to start hitting the back of the net more consistently!Next game Washington Montessori away on Wed Nov 5th.

Varsity Soccer Game v Steiner School on Wednesday October 29th, 2008

This was a very difficult day to play soccer. The weather was freezing, the referee failed to show and the DDS team were without a coach for the entire game as "someone who knew what they were doing had to referee!" Having said all this, the DDS team fought bravely against a team that had some very talented players. Although we failed to score, there was some very good passing moves, particularly out on the left flank with Alex and Sean working well together. At the back we defended strongly, but were unable to cut out some fine individual runs that some Steiner players were making. Danielle had a fine game in goal and came out in the second half to run the midfield. In the second half, our team lost their way a bit and the forwards saw very little of the ball. Isabel, once more playing very strongly in midfield was our best player in this game. The final score was 4-0 to Steiner.
