Sportsco U12 United 3 vs 7 Walsall Wood Snipers U12s

Going into the game, Snipers coaching team decided on a different approach to today’s game, completely changing the positions of some player, and the boys stepped up. Admittedly some happier than others, but as a team this should give them some perspective of different sides of the game. Brandon & Wezza started as our cbs, boys did a good job. Sportsco took advantage of our unfamiliar positions & got some joy to start, forcing Eric into some early saves. Then a moment of magic, Leo ‘Messi’ King decided to have s mazy run, beating 7 players before laying it off to Big Ryan, who’s shot trickled into the goal to open his account
