Mist Opportunities? Not for the Blazers
A thick blanket of fog hung over the pitch as the Blazers took to the field away against Amington, creating a mysterious backdrop for today's cup contest.
Visibility was more tricky, making communication, concentration, and quick decision-making even more important than usual. Despite the challenging conditions, both teams embraced the occasion. In the first half, the Blazers were made to work hard to have possession of the ball. At half time, the Blazers were encouraged to take it up a gear and did in the second half, taking the game to Amington.
As shadows emerged through the mist, the Blazers moved on to the next round.
View from the bench:
Unbelievable work rate and quality football from them all. Felt 10 feet tall walking off that 3G
Goalscorers - Josh, Wyatt and Levi.
Blazer of the Week - Luca and Levi
James - Put in the yards. Took control of the back line and showed great awareness to cover spaces and mark the opposition out of the game.
Luca - His bright boots shining the way, and a performance which lit up the fog and so close to a goal! Every dangerous attack that happened he was there to block, tackle and carry the ball forward with confidence.
Nathan- Is tenacious, working hard to disrupt the opposition when in attack. Showed how versatile he is playing across the midfield and even a stint up front.
Chance - With the ball close to the pitch edge, he rarely loses out. Carrying the ball forward with skill. Second half making a number of on point through balls.
Wyatt - A cool, calm finish for his goal. He was the rock in midfield, winning the ball at every opportunity. In attack linking up the play nicely.
Josh- He finds himself in the right place at the right time, sweeping in another goal to the bottom corner. Keeping the defence on their toes drifting in to space.
Freddie - Owning the wing. With the ball at his feet he uses both feet and tight control to rarely lose it. His pass completion rate must have been 100% today!
Levi - Always looking to play the ball forward and get the attack started. His link play, passing in to spaces behind the defence and deserved his goal.
Daniel - Showing off his passing skills, making short and long on point passes after commanding his area as he always does.
Noah- Attackers rarely get past him. Shows his awareness to use his body position to make a tackle or protect the ball when moving down the wing.
Well done Blazers!
