Leabrooks U9's Cougars 2009/2010
Rowsley & District Youth League, , , , , Alfreton, England

             YOGI WAS ALL OVER THE PARK.

Before I get my car scratched, Id just like to apologise for the report being late, been a bit busy this week plus Ive lost my little black book( so sorry if the details are a bit vague)

Hands up all of you that were sat next to the phone on Friday night waiting for the text message from the Gaffa. It didnt come, so the new season was about to start ( AT 9.15 ) Suprisingly the car park and pitches didnt resemble the beach at Ingoldmells!

The cougars were up against the Titans, a team that just scraped a win over us the last time out, could we take our revenge? Oh yes.

The game started with Ben in goal, Nath,Lewis P and Jacob in defence, Max, Owen and Jake making up the strike force.

Leabrooks started brightly as usual, with efforts from Mr Peachy and Jake. It looked like we were going to draw the first blood and then it had to happen, on the counter attack the Titans made the most of the majority of our team in their half and scored a goal against the run of play.

The Cougars have been here before though, it wasnt long before we were back in their half and worrying their defence, then it came, the player that always looks like scoring ( Jake Hardy )  1 - 1 the game was on.

The first half ended, the lads came off for a well deserved drink, and the Gaffa gave a few words of wisdom.

The second half started with Harrison in goal, Nath,Lewis P and Owen in defence, Jack L, Jack S and Tommy up front.

We started well again and dare I say it never really look in a great deal of trouble, then around 10 minutes into the second half the player that likes to scare defenders ( Jack Langham ) scored the Cougars second goal and that how it ended.

Once again everyone came off the pitch giving their all especially the Man of the Match: Owen ( Yogi ) Yeomans, is there a position this lad cant play in? the answer is no. He gave full commitment to both positions and ran the non stop for the length of the game. Well done mate!

Right lads Cafa Oranges on Saturday, they are fairly low in the league but dont be fooled, we have made that mistake before, having said that we are on a roll and are now starting to play with a confidence that tells other teams we arent used to losing, so lets keep it up.

Just one final word, some of the M.A.D.s were getting a bit too excited last Saturday, if I could make a small suggestion ( maybe ask if they do Decaffinated in the clubhouse next time ) dont need to mention any names, do I Mrs *******.
