U20 Round 12 (ML1): SD Raiders FC vs Mounties Wanderers FC
Final Score: Raiders 1 - 0 Mounties
A very intense match through the full 90 minute duration. I played left-fullback in my 12th consecutive start for the team and had a good game along with the rest of the team. We were very strong defensively and deserved at least a draw after they scored in around the 70th minute with a great top corner finish from a counter attack. The difference in the end was the fact we couldn’t put away several of our good chances as we’re lacking some attacking personnel at the moment, and they were far more clinical and took 1 of the few chances they had. I was very happy with my game and I was consistent throughout the match, putting my all into it and ending the game with no energy, completely depleted. I was good in the majority of 1-on-1 situations I faced against my opposing winger, had good distribution, good communication in the second half especially, and a constant hunger in an attempt to win the match. After a long week of training my body was really tired and sore, and after having a good opening 15 minutes I was gassed, but after being gassed for about 10 minutes I picked back up and continued until the final whistle. A performance not to be ashamed of, but to be proud of and everyone knows what we’re lacking and need to improve.
