Evergreen FC 6-a-side tournament 20/06/2010 outcome

Notoriouosly Evergreen Juniors don't do well in their own tournaments but today was a slightly different story in that they managed to get out of the group stage.

We lost our first game 3-1 to Belmont A, won our second game versus Headstone Manor White 3-0 and drew our last game against Harpenden Colts Red 1-1. The other team, Chorleywood Common Tigers, didn't show up so each team in the group was awarded a 2-0 win.

We got to the Quarter finals where we met the winners of group 4, Abbots Youth A. It was a close match but was lost 2-0.

League: Evergreen Juniors 1-2 Comets Cougars (18th Apr 2010)

Today was Archie and Evergreen Juniors' last league game of the season vs Comets Cougars.

Archie started the game in his usual position of left midfield.

A long story short on this one. The first half was great to watch for an Evergreen follower. Some delicious pieces of individual skill and equally delicious pieces of team work too, one of which i reckon contributed to the goal of the season (so far). Adam retrieved the ball from a Comets player in the middle of the field and played a short pass to Harry F who had his back to goal just within Comets' side of the field. Lewis P made a run pass Harry F who backhealed the ball into his path. He took a touch then took the ball around the keeper and slotted the ball home. 1-0. A host Evergreen players had chances to score, mostly with long range efforts. Archie hit the post on 1 occasion, shot just wide and also made the Comets keeper make a few saves. He was very unlucky not to score.

Half time came and Archie was subbed for the 1st 10 or 15mins of the 2nd half. He came back onto the field in place of Lewis P. During Archie's spell on the sideline Comets had somehow equalized and gone in front. They only had 1 chance at goal in the first half!!

It was a shame to have lost this game. It means that Archie and Evergreen Juniors go into next weekends Semi final against Chorleywood Pumas on the back of a defeat.

Next weekends game is to be played at a neutral venue.
