SCHOOL YEAR 7/8 LEAGUE

Futsal Tigers 4-4 YMCA

YMCA played some scintillating first half futsal, pulling second placed Futsal Tigers all over the court with some superb counter attacking futsal.  At half time they lead 3-1, a goal keeping error giving Tigers a lifeline.  Second half Tigers changed their game plan, the ball going long, not pretty but proved effective in what was desperate situation.  YMCA kept to their short passing principles.  As can happen at all levels, when a team not used to winning concedes doubts flood into the head.  Can we hold out?  How long to go?  Never ‘well they still need to score three to win.’  With the score 4-2 and a win needed to close gap on Panthers at top, Tigers threw everything at YMCA, and with some success, 4-3, 4-4, would YMCA be denied even a point?  With seconds left YMCA attacked two on one to the Tigers goal, a great defensive interception saved the day. 

Special mention Jack Goodhand (YMCA) goal keeper in only his third match in goal. One save, after a player had dribbled round him, had to be seen to be believed.  10/10
