Capitals Honeing Their Team Play

Friday night saw the Capitals take on a very fast & skilled Lakehill Boys U14 Gold Team with other guest players.  The Capitals knew this would be a very fast game as the Lakehill team (who are 2nd in the League standings) very skillfully moves the ball around.  The Cap's met them early in their season last May and had a tight game against them (2-2 tie).  As predicted the game flowed very fast and was fairly equal.  The Lakehill team attacked hard but could not penetrate the Cap's defense very well - they did put two goals in the back of our net on Capital misqueues.  The Capitals could not capitalize on many of their chances - especially those within the 18 yard box ... I think the grass surface beat us many times.  Kudo's to Lakehill keeper was very solid.  mmmm ... one of our keepers is from Lakehill - I think I see a pattern!?

So in the end, we came out behind on goals but ahead on our team shape; playing together again; experience of the grass surface and playign against a very fast/skilled team.

A HUGE thanks to Gorge Soccer Association fro providing us the grass field; lights and meeting space for this tuneup match.
