ISAZ U19 Boys Football

On Saturday we went to play football at Lechwe School and played against three schools Trident, Kalulushi  and Lechwe. Our first game was against Kalulushi Trust and we played very well considering we were a new team. We were well organized, defended well, made a lot of good passes which created more chances at goal. Communication in the fist half could have been better, especially in defence, because the opposition started to have more chances at goal, though we improved in second. Now due to many missed chances which would have won us the game, we ended up drawing that game 0-0.

Our second game was against Trident which was a much harder game. Ten minutes through the first the half our goal keeper Cholwe got injured and was replaced by Xavier who did really well and made some good saves, but in this game we started to lose focus, especially in defence, after we gave away a goal due to sloppy kicks. But in the second half we started to focus more, allowing us to have more chances at goal but didn't score. But then there was a miscommunication between the defence and the goalkeeper and we scored an own goal. So we ended losing that game 2-0.

Our last match was against Lechwe. In the first half, Lechwe scored the opening goal, but a few minutes later, Chandalala scored a penalty keeping us tied in the first half. In the second half we managed to score another goal keeping us ahead, but then we lost three men because of injuries and cramps so we were eight men against eleven. We ended up losing that game 4-2.

There's always one

On the whole we weren't a bad team, I would like to thank the team for their hard work and giving it their all, though we need to improve on some things such as finishing. I would also like to thank  Mr. Grove and Mr. Kirk for coaching and supporting us.
