SHARING OF INFORMATION

-

I was in attendance on both days of the charity shield games held inside the OSA over the weekend where I witnessed some brilliant team performance and scintillating individual brilliance.

On Saturday it was a disappointment seeing coach Omar's U14 girls getting their first major lost, moreover in a final... must be harder to cope with. It only holds true that it's not the amount of attempts, but it's how many actually gets pass the goal keeper into the back of the net. If goals  were counted by attempts, they, the Woodbridge Strikers 04 girls would have won quite convincingly.

The Woodbridge Strikers 04 Boys had a more rewarding result by lifting the Charity Shield Trophy for their respective age group. It materialized into a great game full of end to end plays with a lot of physicality being displayed. Leaving both sets of supporters having a go at the referee for not making the correct call in their opinion. Even in the penalty shootout.

The main reason for writing this blog is in sharing some valuable insights from my conversations with acquaintances. On numerous occasions I  was told that our boys have a very good team based upon all the reports they have been hearing about the team. All of this information was provided to me  without any solicitation on my part as it relates to the Woodbridge Strikers 05 Boys. Just having friendly conversations. Also, I was duly informed by a number of people that they will be in attendance to see how our boys perform against elite teams whom are just as good or better.

Suffice me to say, I too am looking forward to the match ups because I know on any given day our boys can and will give their best . Just a reminder that winning does not mean playing great, so our message should be to have great performances resulting in three wins.

Go Woodbridge Strikers 05 Boys. ⚽ 🥅

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 opp

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

Brian is photographed in the above photo His excitement was hard to detect behind the humility and shyness of his personality. 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
