Hello all... We can't get over the weather. It drops to the 40s at night and into the mid 70s in the day-hardely a cloud in the sky.
Game day, got to love it!
In the morning we toured the Moravian Caves which was one of the most amazing experiences I have had. These caves go deep under ground, with these huge canyons... In one area it seemed to be straight out of Jurassic Park. When we reached a certain point, we had to board a boat that returned us to the beginning-taking a boat through underground waterways!
We then travelled to Brno, after lunch and shopping-it was time to get back to soccer. I think we were at their youth academy facility, 2 turf fields, very simple but definetly intimate for the soccer lovers. Both the 94s and 95s would be playing a year or two up.
The 95s had a pre game meeting with Dr. Dan "The Mental Man." It is so important for our players to know how to properly prepare for a game mentally. Without a proper understanding and without the skills, players will have inconsistent performances. Has that ever happened to our players? There is work to be done!
95s started very brightly. A very positive first 25 minutes, resulted in an early goal. Great stuff! Second started with more of the same. However, we were unable to kill the game off with a second. We hold on under pressure for a 1 nil win.
94s set the tone with a goal in the first five mins against their opponent. They continued to dominate the game for the first 15 until a shift in momentum occurred, but held strong defensively to maintain their lead. After a few adjustments at halftime, the girls restablished control of the game by pressing hard and mainting possession to finish with a 1-0 victory.
