Coomera Soccer 12 Div 2

Saturday 26 April meant an early morning trip to Kingscliff and it was a lovely day to play just behind the sand dunes at the beach. Despite the day off before and the long trip down the boys started the first half very well and had a number of good chances.

With Kingscliff having good results, Coomera showed that they were not easy beats and certainly surprised a few who had studied the table. A number of good combinations proved dangerous and our guys were able to fairly easily penetrate the Kingscliff midfield.

I was pleased with the first half and thought that the guy were doing everything that was expected of them.

Unfortunately, Kingscliff managed to put away a number of goals in second half and our efforts went unrewarded. From my point of view the guys should hold their heads up high- once again they have proved themselves player for player the equal of any Div 2 team. We need to continue to work on finishing off our attacking moves but there has been some great improvement.

It is only a matter of time before we get a win and I believe we can produce better results in return legs against all of the teams. I am disappointed for the team in not getting too many points, but their efforts have been great.

Thanks to Aaron and Troy who shared the goalkeeping position during the game.  it would have been fabulous for Jalen to score against his old team but he and about 5 others put away good shots on goal.

Focus this week at training will continue to be shots on goal, aerial control, and attack.

Well done Coomera.

We went down 5-0 to Kingscliff.
