Yesterday, Archie played in his first 11-a-side game. It wasn't a full match, just a 30min game, one of many practice games coming up to prepare for next season. Archie played in left midfield and up-front alongside Lewis P.
Having to contend with a bigger pitch and the offside rule, you could see all the boys were finding it difficult keeping their positions, but with practice they will get better. Archie impressed me with his constant glancing across the defensive line to check if he was offside or not... more often than not he was but he always made up for it!
Today, Archie and Evergreen Juniors face an away league match versus Tornado JSC. This is the team that walked off the field and refused to play because the manager didn't like the tackles. JSC are 2 places above Evergreen in the league but we have 2 games in hand on them. The last time Archie played at JSC's pitch he scored just the 1 goal, but only played half of the match.
The weather looks nice today, rained a little last night so the pitch should be in perfect condition. Looking forward to it. A win today will ensure that Evergreen will no longer be bottom of the league. Let's hope I haven't jinxed us!
