The U12s played their first Cluster competition on Friday 4th November and the team did themselves and the club proud, says Team Manager Derek Ferguson:
We decided to put in a mixed boys and girls team and perhaps as a consequence of this the first game was a little dis-jointed with a few of the players lacking confidence.
However, with a few encouraging words from Coach Katie the team went from strength to strength as each game went by and the day wore on.
The record book will show played 4, won 1 and lost 3, but that's only a small part of the story, they were all winners by the end of the day.
Each one of the team put in 100% effort in every game, their defensive, passing and team skills grew as the day wore on. Most importantly, from our perspective, none of their heads went down when playing against, most of the time, much bigger and older opposition.
A huge well done to all the players, thanks to Katie McB for helping out with coaching and to all the parents for getting the players to and from the venue and providing support.
Back to training at Holy Rood next Friday at 5.30, see you all then!
