NORTHERN STORM - MATCH REPORTS
Senior Mens
Round 13 – against Maclean
First Grade – report by Colin Scully
The first half was very ordinary
from both sides apart from 2 fantastic saves by Mitch Weeden who backed it up
with another top save in the second half.
The only goal of the game was
scored in the 24th minute of the second half by Jamie Kennedy.
We need to keep the ball on the
deck lads. Far too much high ball. Not enough retention of the ball and our
passing game needs to improve heaps. On a number of occasions players were
kicking the ball without even looking to where they were kicking the ball or to
whom.
Having said that, there were some
highlights of the game. None better than the through ball to Jamie Kennedy and
his cross to Dan Keam who unfortunately was unable to find the back of the net.
We must treat every game from now
on as a Grand Final lads – we need to up the intensity but at the same time we
must “relax on the ball” and let the ball do the work. Possession is the key as
is patience. Take the time to “hold” the ball and find our player’s feet and we
will win more games.
