COMO Yr 8’s         vs        Aquinas Yr 8’s

               2        Def        1

Promising signs
Como showed much endeavour with their ball movement, spreading it wide when the opportunity was there, they also hung tough in defence, making some timely interceptions.  Aquinas had the majority of first half play, but fortunately couldn’t get the ball in the net.  Penalty corner defensive running was sound from como.  The second half saw some more positive play and better positioning by como.

Areas to develop further
Positional play all over the field, the press, reaction time and line of positioning when switching from attack to defence and back again, manning up in defensive areas.

Highlights
A great deflection goal, straight from the training track by sam polglaze, Cameron hyde’s defensive running on the field, guy polglazes intercepting tackles and run from defence, Nicholas hydes tomahawk goal
