Sam’s team won in a decisive victory on Saturday. Sam played keeper and had one stop for the whole game – literally just one shot on goal for the other team. He did a good job of calling the shot and clearing everyone out of the box and then had a good kick down field. The kick was so good that it took a couple of fortuitous bounces and a player on his team won the ball and scored a goal – Sam actually got an assist off the play. Final Score 9-nil. Alex’s team lost a tough one a couple of hours later as his team only had 7 players and the other team had 11. The other team chose to play all 9 players and then sub when needed which meant Alex’s team was exhausted by the end of the game. Even being down 2 players, Alex’s team kept it close until the final minute when the other team pulled ahead 3-2. The ensuing kick-off resulted in a very quick goal for Alex’s team but the whistle had just been called and it was ruled a no-kick.
We didn’t get ta photo of the goal save or the goal kick and this was just about all he was doing the rest of the game. 🙂

A nice corner kick – put it in excellent position, but the keeper made the save.
