Oakham Tournement - Under 11's
The SSC junior team travelled to Oakham to play against tough opposition, the junior club has just been recently set up and they showed great character in the matches. They were upbeat and showed great ambition, unfortunatly they didn not win but tournemnts around the corner will help these children to become top players.
SSC Juniors 1 - 3 Goans
A young SSC squad faced an experienced looking Goan side ready for a decent match. SSC hosted a number of their under 11's squad such as Raj Sevak, Harminder, Jeetpal and Sam. A few familar faces were also mixed up with the likes of Danny, Hena, Neelam and Jaspal. A strong Goan side pumped the pressure early on and were rewarded with a goal. SSC dominated in parts but never took to the game in the first half. The positive outcome being, that the young one's giving 110%. They were pressurising the unpredictable goan defence. Half time tea talk was quick and with SSC 2-0 down they still had a lot to play for. Ed, prabhjoyt and harman excelled in the second half showing their worth, while Danny, Neelam and Hena were keeping the game simple and effective. A few decisions were given against SSC and the goans pounced at the oppourtunity of woeful defending courtesy of Jaspal. At 3-0 down SSC were playing for pride even though alot was already gained. The younsters continued to terrorise the defence and were finally rewarded with a short corner. Hena leeped at the chance to take it and did not dissappoint. A strong drive to the keepers left saw Hena score her second goal of the season. The game ended 3-1, but SSC took alot of positives from the game.
Squad from back, Hardev (GK), Jaspal, Hena, Neelam, Danny, Ed, Prabhjoyt, Harman, Raj Sevak, Harminder, Jeetpal, Sam, Maddy.
