Today the Fielding Boys team had two new players from the development team Ahmed (5F) and Ethan (6S) play their debut in the performance team. Before the match began the boys were instructed not to force the pass, communicate and make themselves available but most importantly go in with confidence. The boys took ownership of the formations and agreed as a team they wanted to play 3-1-2. The new formations proved to be successful once Ahmed (5F) was brought onto the pitch as he scored the first goal of the match. Scoring the first goal brought confidence back not the team and boosted the momentum. The boys continued to press the ball, and Ahmed scored his second goal with a one-two pass. The defence was tight and the boys at the back Sev (5S), Gioele (6F), and Ishaaq (6F) all communicated well and made some great interceptions to ensure it was a goalless first half. At half-time, the score was 3-0.

 

Going into the second half they wanted to secure the win, Ethan (6S) was brought on to the wing to support our attack and assisted Ahmed (5F) scoring his third goal. It was now a hattrick for Ahmed (5S) for his debut after playing for the performance side. Theo (6S), Tem (5F) and Reuben (6S) worked well in attack and made some great passes to each other but unfortunately were unable to get the ball in the back of the net until they sent a ball up to Aidan (6F) who scored the last goal of the match just before the whistle blew.  Hobbayne's goalkeeper accidentally scored an own goal and due to accidental deflection, Hobbayne managed to score one goal. 

Well done to Jordi (6S) who was jumping around like spiderman and made some excellent saves or else Hobbayne would have definitely scored a lot more goals.
