Under 7 Yellow Team match report from 28th July.

The under 7 Yellow team ran their little yellow butts off to win again this week. An amazing result of 5-3 saw our little ones smile brightly after an extended lay-off due to school holidays, wet weather and a bye.

It wasn’t looking good at first when our opponents Commercial came out with a goal in the first minute (after a minor hiccup when both teams appeared to be running towards the same goal...lol). However our team followed up with their own goal shortly after, so with chests puffed out, big grins and high fives, it was game on.

Clancy certainly found his feet this week and ran them all over the field. Brooklyn fought off a headache to practice some more great defence. Our power player Maddie gave us some lucky breaks with her big pushes down the field. Yellow’s two little powerhouses on the field, Lily and Michala did the team proud once again, with another 3 goals between them, ably supported by their pals Holly and Roisin who also scored a champion’s goal each. Mya was keen as ever and darted around the field with her stick swinging every which way she could make it go. And who could not once again be impressed by Sophie’s sheer determination on the field, chasing the ball at all costs to pass it back to her team mates.

Maybe it was the bright blue sky or perhaps it was the fresh breeze that hyped up our players before the game, but this week we are going to attribute our fantastic team spirit and well deserved win to our new matching yellow and navy headbands generously handmade by Holly’s Grandma. Top stuff......and looking good!
