The tale of two halves today. The boys showed great resiliency in the first half. After giving up 2 very quick goals they settled down and had the better of play in the first half. We had more opportunities and our goal was created from tremendous effort. We had some nice passes and boys working the ball. We had some situations in the first half of boys out of position but overall our shape was good. The second half we played back on our heals a bit and we lost our shape. This was compounded by our boys keeping their heads down and trying to beat too many players instead of getting a pass off. The other team worked harder than us in the second half and put some goals on the board. 3 of the goals were mistakes that happen in the start of the season because we are just getting settled tactically...they will go away.

Like the tournament we had one good half in a game. That will improve over the season as the boys start playing more together and get more training time with Coach Dan.
