Overview
Scouts were a big side and obviously took some time to work out !! But I have no doubt that the froggy sending off ( lol ) inspired the lads and took the lads into more of a lighthearted place where they could play with a smile … Once we scored you could see the whole team gel and work together .. Such fantastic game to watch and to see smiles on the lads faces was priceless
Kudos to the coaches Rocky , froggy Nick and George.. Of course every single lad and all parents who where jumping about on the touchline celebrating our 1st win of the season .. May this be the start of something special :-)
