Charles team had a very good game today. I think almost all of the players showed up and were in generally good form. The final score was 6-0 which is worse than it sounds. The other team wasn’t totally out of it, although Charles’ s team was definitely the better team on the field. I think a big problem for the other team was not supporting their goalie, who would often face two or three of Charles’ team on the attack which is a losing situation for any goalie. Even for goal kicks Charles team would line the edge of the goal box even though the goalie couldn’t really get any air with her kicks so it would basically just go straight to Charles’ team for another score attempt with all the defenders further away.
Charles still had some tripping problems but otherwise he did well. He got some excellent kicks and clears and a few runs at the goal. At one point his tripping caused him to get kneed in the head, which he managed to shake off. Shortly after that Charles caught a goal kick right in the chest. He was somewhat dysfunctional for a few minutes after that but did not have to leave the game. He played on, our little tough guy.
