This was our first competitive match at Eastwood 6-a-side and my only aim was to get used to the different style of football.
The match started well for us, with us chasing the ball down, working hard and creating a few chances. At half time it was 0 – 0, which was a fair reflection of the game.
In the 2nd half of the game our inexperience and lack of fitness started to show as too many times we were caught with one at the back, as everyone was too far up the pitch or too tired to follow their men. Alas Fort Maximus scored 2 well worked goals to win the match.
Overall I m exceptionally pleased with our 1st game, despite the loss. Once we stop playing like a Pitch Invasion side and defend properly (which will come), I see no reason why we cant challenge for top honours. |
