We where on a high from this afternoons game and we wanted to keep taking steps to improve each game, we didn't know anything about NJLC and we started the game brilliantly with two quick goals by Oli and TJ, it even started to rain and we felt good about ourselves, the Jersey team looked shocked but I think we woke the giant, NJLC scored without reply and the lads held their own but after the two days of games they looked a little fatigued and the game got away from us, although we still had some great performances especially from Hal who made some great saves in the first half, he is coming back from injury and has still played well in every game. NJLC overpowered us a little and where a very good team, but we'd like to see them again later in the tournament.
We battled until the end and the guys never stopped encouraging and supporting each other.
We are getting more people supporting us and watching our games everyday from friends from Maryland, to Mr Tate from Newcastle whose son is playing for Dallas and the gentleman from Yorkshire that manages the cafe. We have also had college coaches to interested parties.
We always get a great reception here and it makes the lads feel special.
Goals;
TJ Burgess
Cian Conway
Will Cornwell
Oli Loveland
Onwards and upwards, the sun will still come up tomorrow and we'll have these bonds and friendships forever. We are going to take another step up tomorrow and try to come away with two wins to get into the playoffs.
Thanks to Coaches Tyler and Zac for passing on their knowledge, Tyler was meant to go back to D.C but is enjoying spending time with the boys sonmuch that he's staying for the game tomorrow.
The lads came back to eat more pizza and spend time with their new American friends from other teams who love to spend time with them and trade, the hallway is always busy with the sounds of laughs and shouting. It's an early get up tomorrow at 6:45am. Time for bed.
A great day for Knights Lacrosse and I'd like to think these wins are for all the players that played in the past.
HOUSE EVERY WEEKEND!
Learn from it and move on!
