U18 Round 7 (YL2): Mounties Wanderers FC vs St George FC

Final Score: Mounties 1 - 3 St George FC

In this game I started as a right centre-back in a 1-3-4-3 formation. Playing on a slow grass pitch, had to adapt and get used to the conditions with the beginning and first half being messy from both teams, but the half time score being 0-1 to St George. I played a decent first half, doing my best to keep composed and keeping the ball on the floor to avoid the wind having an affect on the ball. Defensively I was good as well, at times slow to move up with the line but had no consequence. The second half was far better from me and the team football-wise. We began controlling the game and scored 2 identical goals, both being tap-ins, and both being produced through effective play from the back-line, through the oppositions defensive line the finishing off with a simple tap in. I would rate my overall performance a 7/10, having made a few mistakes towards the end with tired legs and slower and less effective decision making. Played my first 90 minute game in a while which is good progress, and just looking to keep building day-by-day.
