For our final round of matches we travelled back to SJII, the site of our previous success in the ACSIS 9&U League. The boys were ready right from the start and in our first match against UWC Dover we kept the ball in our attacking zone for almost the entire match. We peppered the goal and although it look like we wouldn't score finally Kohju scored with the easiest of tap ins after the goal keeper struggled to hold onto Hugo's shot. We continued to dominate possession and in the dying stages Kohju scored again to make the final score 2-0.
Next up we faced Dover Court and in a hard fought match we went down 1-0 early on and just couldn't find a goal to equalize.
In our third match we faced the home team SJII, a team who we were yet to beat all season. It was a gripping encounter and both teams battled hard in the midfield to win possession. Kohju, who has been switched from attack to defence in this game was as solid as a rock, ably assisted by Ken and Iskander. Late in the second half Kohju picked up the ball deep in defence and went on a weaving run down the win taking on almost the entire SJII team and then shooting from an almost impossible angle and slotting into the top right hand corner! This was by far the goal of the entire season and left everyone in disbelief! The match finished 1-0 and we had our first win against SJII for the season.
Against top of the table Chatsworth we put up a valiant effort, but after a break and some well deserved snacks and drinks, we started on a sugar high and Hugo scored almost instantly after kickoff. Like all good sugar highs, we had a comedown and let in 3 goals to lost the match 3-1. A good effort against a team who has only lost once all season.
In our final match of the day and the season we faced off against SAS and again Hugo found the net to give us a convincing 1-0 victory.
Overall on the day we had 3 wins and 2 draws. A fun and memorable way to finish off the 9&U season. Well done boys!
