Yesterday morning i was think what a great day, really looking forward to football on Sunday. Who would of thought that 24 hours later we would be facing a frozen pitch.

So i thought i would start with some key performers. Big Nick Rember was a colossus in that midfield. He “Dug” himself in the middle and filled all the “holes”. He was fetching and carrying all game (his bucket). While David “Messi” Vince was all over the pitch, hugging every line and even sweeping up at the back. What these two wouldn’t do to get the game on, but sadley to no avail. LOL

So what ended up with was six five-a-side games against Ominia, who unlike us had one very strong team and two lesser teams. whilst we had three evenly spread teams. On my pitch we had a 6.0 loss, 3.0 loss and a 3.2 Win. On Nicks pitch 3.2 Win 6.2 Loss and a 4.1 Win

Im not going to go through each game but rather just put some general observations:

5-a-side is all about pass and move. Too often when we had the ball i could see 3 or 4 players within 6 feet of each other.

Tracking back go with the runners, if the opposition break and you see its 3 on 1 dont stand and pray get back and help. If the defender can hold them up, it gives time for you to help.

Control is so important in 5 side and also you must ensure the pass reaches the player.

Use your goalie to help defend. Pass back move into space look for the return and then move forward.
