This was a club pre-season friendly against an experienced 3rd team who hope to be challenging for the league title this coming season. The positives which can be gleaned from the game from a 4th team perspective is that the youngsters in the team never gave up and had a fair share of possession but were out muscled in the key areas particularly at the back and front where the 3rd team were largely clinical. The key message to all is that possession is key and if all continue to play with composure and intensity with good ball retention and decision making then a good season is ahead. |
