Really positive training session last night boys thank you so much for your hard work and commitment. It was really good to see the whole squad at our midweek training, so nice work lads (and parents!!)
I also wanted to thank Callad for joining our coaching team, Callad has played for Central since he was in the under 11’s team and so will bring experience (and youth!) to the training sessions. Callad will mainly be with us on Wednesday nights as he has other commitments on a Saturday.
As we discussed in training, Okehampton are going to be a tough team to play against and we will need to be organised, disciplined in defence and be prepared to play with energy (on the front foot!) for the whole hour.
We will need to approach all games as a whole squad. We will utilise all the players each game. Therefore if you are named as a substitute you will need to remain focused on the game and keep warm, and also help to support the boys that are playing. If you are called off during a game, it is important to remember that we need to rotate the team, so don’t worry or think that you haven’t played well.
We will be playing a 3-4-1 formation on Saturday. This will give us width in the midfield and also ensure a strong defensive structure.
The starting team will be:
Goalkeeper:
Sam P
Defense:
Sam R, Cameron and Oscar
Midfield:
Joe, Will P, Dan (captain) and Julen
Striker:
Alfie W
Starting substitues:
Will A, Ryan, Teo & Alfie R.
As I have said it is great to see boys training hard and pushing for their places in the team.
All boys will play a part in this game; having fresh legs is going to be really important in this 60 minute match!
Okehampton play at Simmons Park, Mill Road, Okehampton EX20 1PR. It is not far off the A30 but can be a bit tricky to find the playing field! Plenty of parking and it backs onto a leisure centre which offer nice coffee and snacks!
We will start our warm up and match preparations at 10.00am ahead of a 10.30am kick off.
Thanks everyone
Mark
