2010 and big pitch time for our U10 Div 1 team – first game of the season and it is a home game – the football gods were smiling on our lads. Success during preseason trials provided the lads with the confidence that they could master this new space and call it their own. Pete set the pace and with some pre-game warm up exercises and then taking the boys to “their” dressing room for pre-game strategising. Kenthurst came out strong from the kick off and the boys had initial trouble getting the ball to move around on a wet slow pitch. Josh managed to give his mother a scare and got carried off only to run back on 10 minutes later – tough. At half time the score was locked at 0–0.

The second half saw the boys come out stronger after reminders from Pete and Mick about how they need to play on the bigger pitch. The second half saw Jared & Patrick slot in 2 goals each after strong surging runs by the midfielders.

End result was a 4 – 1 win for Normo.

And didn't the boys look smart in their new strip!!
