STRIKERS STRIKE AGAIN

-

Firstly, let me extend congrats to coach Joe and coach Marco for the splendid job in the absence of coach Chris.

Honestly, I don't know where to begin as it was highly entertaining and exciting in the same breath. The first quarter was totally Ethan's show, speed, quickness and deadly finishing only to be missed by mom Mavis.

Coach Joe realized that the opponent's challenge was not forthcoming, so he decided to experiment with formation and players in different positions. Tayvin was slotted into the center forward position. Seeing him in a break away heading towards goal our contingent of supporters started cheering loudly for him to score. The moms went wild when he eventually did. While, dad Delroy tried to hide his excitement by keeping his head held down.

Seeing how the boys are interchangeable between position tells me how versitile the squad is... for example Gianluca playing as a left defender. Our domination was evident based upon the score. Is it because the opponents are not at our level, or the Strikers are superior because of training and coaching provided?

Tremaine, Isaiah, Marco, Anthony, Amrit and Maximas also added to the humiliation and disappointment of the opponent's parents personal view of their coaching staff. Seated beside a parent of the opponent's team, he showered our boys with praises and the fact that he could hear our coach giving instructions to the boys and that really impressed him. His wife gave a suggestion that Cristian could bring his homework and complete it there as he seems so relaxed.

Seeing Jordan fire a powerful right footed shot on net was more than a pleasant sight for his OPDL debut (welcome back Jordan). It appears the boys are running a relay race for injuries as Fateh is now on the injured list. We continue to support Chris in his timely recovery.

All those who were present got treated to some laughter, fun filled moves, and goals galore.
The team didn't disappoint in the head coach absence. Continue to support the Woodbridge Strikers OPDL U13 boys team as they go 7:0.

    Having such a significant lead it was great to see the coach making some positional changes, allowing defenders to play forward and strikers playing defense.
    Cheering for those who normally wouldn't get a chance to score was very exciting.

    Hmmm, very dissapointed to have missed the first 20mins of the game. Thus, missing Ethan's goals. I agree it was a fun game to watch. It was nice to see the boys play different positions. The opponents were definitely not at the same level as the strikers.
    Well done boys.

WHERE WAS THIS BEFORE ?

The weather condition was very conducive for soccer. Did it materialized into a brilliant game of soccer especially in Woodbridge Strikers favor ? Playing against TFC OPDL boys from rumors one also has to contend with the referee's decision...we have witnessed it first hand. The roar by Strikers is always a determining factor of their vibes if they are in for a good game and today's shout could be heard from far and wide. Strikers sent a verbal message before a ball was kicked or the blowing of the referees whistle. Even in warm up gave the impression of cohesion, professionalism and focus. TFC came out from kick off as a rocket fired into space trying as best as possible in stopping Woodbridge Strikers Boys from playing out of defense. If that was their game plan Strikers quickly nullified it and laid it to rest. The saying goes don't give what you yourself cannot take. Strikers reversed the role on TFC and started pressing them from the keeper makes the pass either to

As Seen Through A Parent's Telescope

It took some convincing for Brian, Cristian's dad, to agree on doing a written article from a parent's view point. He was asked specifically to share from a parent's experience coming from a family that possesses a rich history in the sport. According to Brian, "Cristian's selection to travel to Southampton (UK) was a privilege to say the least. In addition to our regular Club training, Cristian attended additional goalkeeper training prior to departure, not knowing the level and caliber we were walking into. From the onset, Elite Tournaments who organized the event had a jammed pack itinerary set for the boys. Their day started with an early morning breakfast and off to training they went. They trained on and off the field following the exact schedule as the Southampton's first team. They had to be both physically and menta
