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.
