It was our first trip to the Belton fields as U11 had a 10:50 kickoff on a cool but warming fall day. The wind was blowing strong  from one end to the other.

We had the wind the first half and completely dominated possession. Fire had 2 shots on goal and scored one with three minutes left in the half. 305 had 11 shots on goal and could not find the back of the net. We just were not getting our shots on frame. But even more frustrating, we were putting the ball in the box and across the goal but no one was following the shots or getting a foot on the ball.

In the second half, we once again dominated possession. Another challenge was that we had a linesman that didn’t seem to be able to  judge offsides. In spite of getting numerous good opportunities called back, we still had 11 more shots on goal to Fire’s 2 shots. This included several good chances in front of the net, but it just wasn’t going to be our day as Fire would hold on to win 0 to 1.

The boys worked really hard in the second half and completely dominated possession. U11 had a really good season and demonstrated how working well together as a team creates more opportunities to win than relying on just a few individuals. Well done boys. I am really proud of what you achieved this season.
