Cheetahs 22 - Gorillas 19!!!


I know, I know. We aren't supposed to keep score and considering we don't have goalies it is a difficult task!

This week the Cheetahs faced a more evenly matched opponent. We got down 2-0 in the first minute. It seemed all too familiar after the Thundercats and their team of ringers jumped on us 7-0 last week. Low and behold, the Cheetahs scored the next 7-8 goals and never relinquished the lead! I am super-proud of everyone (including the Gorillas) - every kid scored!

GOOOOAAAALLLLL!!!!!

Last year, Elle never scored. Grant it, Upward used goalies in U5. Elle would not be denied on this day. Not one, but two goals! Beyond that, she assisted on a few others. Why is that a big deal? Have you watched micro soccer lately?! Very little passing going on!

The improvements from week one to week two were evident. They were no longer timid - heeding my advice to "play through the ball" and pass.

Up next - The Dawgs!
