Carmondean Football Team

A huge congratulations to the football team for their performances yesterday at the 2nd schools football league event at Deans High School. The team played fantastically well and they worked so hard across the pitch in every game, running themselves ragged. The link up play between everyone was great and they were all calm and very comfortable on the ball, with some quality link up play all over the pitch, including several through balls from our play-making keeper Aiden! Everyone got a chance to play a few games and it is a testament to the team spirit that whoever came in slotted in seamlessly and we didn’t lose our momentum. We came away with 4 wins and a draw with goals from all over the pitch and solid defending to keep 4 clean sheets. A big thank you to Angela Coulter for organising and well done to everyone who took part!

Last night was the first of our league tournaments played in lovely sunny, if cold, conditions up at DCH. The team played fantastically together and the teamwork, communication and skill were evident in all four of our games. It was fantastic to see how hard the players worked for each other and how well they helped each other on the pitch, showing great passing and movement as well as covering for each other when defending. Everyone got game time and the rotation of players didn’t slow the momentum, showing what a great squad that we have. Unfortunately we were not able to bring along all of the players that have been training with us but they will be taking part in future matches and I am sure they will add to the quality we already have. In terms of results we won our first three games, with some superb goals, and we drew our last game. They were all very competitive matches and it was a fantastic start to the season for Carmondean, well done to everyone that took part!

It’s been a hectic week for the football team with a tournament on Wednesday for the Deans Gala and then a home fixture against Knightsridge on Thursday, 4 games in 2 days! But the team have done the school proud and lost only 1 of the 4 games they played. 2 draws against Meldrum and Knightsridge, a win against St John Ogilivies and a loss against Deans Primary represents good results for a team that has only really been training together properly since Easter.

The players really gave the games their all and were especially resilient with the weather during the tournament on Wednesday. They showed great team spirit, encouraging each other regularly and communicating well and the right type of competitiveness to get their good results. They worked well as a team and they are showing great signs of improvement that will help the team going into next season and beyond. I would also like to thank the parents who came along to support their children and the team in general and without their help and support the team would not have been as successful as it was, thank you!
