On a fantastic evening for soccer (sunny & warm) the GU14 girls went to "battle" with the GU15 team. We were well "armed" with our scouting report on the "enemy" (a la the Art of War). The girls started out in an unfamiliar 4-5-1 formation with Nigel working on midfield discipline and defence. It had poor Kathy up front as the lone striker to apply pressure (less than normal) to their defence. After a while the girls went back to a standard 4-4-2.
I understand the game went well in the first half with our "Caps" playing the GU15's fairly equally. The last half saw us loose some of our energy and we let the GU15's pressure the defence and goal and they put one past Veronica. I did see a couple of excellent saves from "V".
I am sorry I could not stay for the whole evening to watch - I was shuttling Erin & Lauren (Erin's twin sister) between soccer and capoeira.
What is capoeira you ask?
