Match report
Woodside Warriors u13 Blue hosted Murray Bridge United on a perfect Autumn’s morning. Both sides started the game nervously which saw the ball rebound in and out of each of their respective halves. This provided some nervous moments for the coaches from both sides. Eventually the Warrior’s settled into the game and Xavier Varelias eventually broke through and scored the first goal for the game. Through their midfield, usual suspects Rojo Nambiar, Elliot Klein and Jordan Virgara presented the Warrior’s strikers with a plethora of goal scoring opportunities which United’s goalkeeper expertly negated. Caught on the break United thrust forward and easily exposed the Warrior’s defensive line and scored their first goal for the morning. Despite having a majority of possession, the Warriors had to patiently wait to be rewarded for the attacking pressure that they were inflicting on the solid United defense. Klein, Josh Constable, Nambiar and Virgara all scored successful goals and the Warriors went into the half time break 5-1. The Warrior’s coach implored for the Warriors new defenders to rally together, having only played one previous together they were still finding their mojo. Troy Murray and Deagan Arnold started to forge a great defensive partnership and under the instruction of the Warrior’s keeper Axel Vassos began to control and clear any United attacks. Luke Somes, Thomas Constable welcomed Casper Cox into the left hand defensive arm and worked very hard on marking their players and forcing the United strikers wide of Vassos’s goal mouth. Jamie Spooner created some great through balls to the Warrior’s attacking half. Nambiar started to dominate the Warrior’s right wing area and was instrumental in creating a number of scoring opportunities. One of Nambiar’s highlights in particular involved him drawing three defenders wide to right corner flag. The United defenders were mesmerized by Nambiar’s ball movement and before they could blink the ball was thrusted deep into the penalty box where Constable eagerly volleyed in a delightful goal which perfectly epitomized a wonderful team goal. The Warrior’s added another 5 goals to their total, Klein and Nambiar capped off a wonder morning with bagging a hattrick each. Final score Warriors 7, United 1.
