Off to a Great Start

The Futsal season is off to a great start. In our first match we narrowly missed a win against a team from Third Division outdoor (they tied it with 30 seconds remaining). While it was a learning experience with everyone working hard to adjust to the new ball, new rules, and new players on the squad, we were very satisfied with the point.

The second match was a vast improvement. The new players settled in and the team worked together much better. We dominated the play and came away with three points against a formidable opponent from Second Division outdoor.

Our Coach summed the start up best in a post-game e-mail:

"That was a great effort last night. You're going to gain some respect from these higher division teams.

You guys are really enjoying this new game. The defence and mid-field were solid, the strikers created more then enough scoring opportunities and scored when they had to. You look like you were all having a blast.

Keep up the good work and believe in yourself and the team. The best is yet to come."

I agree!
