Football Match Against Colombo Lions

As I have posted earlier, OSC had a football match against Colombo Lions. Colombo Lions, from the official record :P, has been a strong team for past few years. OSC SAISA boys football team always had several matches with them for practice before they went on the actualy SAISA tournament, and OSC found hard times playing them.

Colombo Lions is a regular team who meets up every week and practice for real matches. So they knew what is going on on the field, who would be in front of the goal by certain time, or how to handle the game by their pace.

WELL, it's not an excuse. I admit we lost at the end. 6:0 final score. Though I don't think it was bad since we haven't played together properly. This was meant to be a tryout. From this match, we now know which position we can perform best at or other tactics we can use for the upcoming SAISA boys football season.

We enjoyed the game. Actually this was a good proper football exercise for me after a long time. Though I play with the midyear players every Saturday, it's not really me playing; it's rather I help them play by passing the ball to them or making some chances for the little kids to score. So it has never been a proper exercise for me. But I seriously think I have improved from playing with the little players, I feel a little shame :P but it's still a good thing. Since little players tend to come rush to me when I have the ball, I need to be really in control with the ball and need to have an wide sight so that I can pass the ball to some other player from my own team. By doing so, I improved in my controlling the ball and passing.

Mr.Campbell, Primary principal of our school and the football team coach at the same time, told us that he can tell Mr.Shipley, PE teacher, to organise more games with Colombo Lions later on, so that we can play better. Looking forward to playing with them again !
