Nov 23rd (Goal : Wakefield)
Football has taken a real battering this week. With England failing to qualify for Euro 2008, those of us involved in grass roots football have had to take a step back and assess the way we teach the game to tomorrow’s generation. There are 12 potential future professional footballers in our team. And if their football is to flourish, if their potential is to be realised, we really do have to stop worrying about our league position and ditch the winning at all costs mentality. All of us, players, parents and supporters have to look at the positives, have got to enjoy our time in this league. Let’s make every Recreativo game at Market Road a party!
This evening we take quite a hammering from a well drilled and strong Hampstead side. Yet every one of our players, like usual, gives 100%. Sam came off the bench and played one of his best matches so far. Our goal comes from a beautiful weighted pass down the left from Ollie, which George latched onto and slotted the ball home. Despite the introduction of Jaden in the second half who seemed to bring an added determination to the Juniors attack, the game this evening is beyond us. We will be back. We won’t be written off. We are Recreativo Juniors Football Club and we are already counting down the days, the hours and minutes to the next game.
Team (all played) : Benji Barbour Ricketts, Zeki Bolat, Jaye Paul, Harry Butcher, Ollie Goldblatt, Storm Gregory-Hickling, Louis Dillon, George Wakefield, Lara Tollington, Sam Abdullah-Kirton, Jaden Stephenson.
