A good practice work out for our over 65’s squad yesterday. 🎉⚽🎉
Worcester League o65 Hartshill Strollers Team playing friendly v Stourport Swifts 8-1.
With a good portion of the team being winners of BCWFL league from 24-25 and against a newly formed team from Stourport and Kidderminster it was something of a David and Goliath game but you can only play what’s in front of you. None the less it was a good workout including different shapes and systems and the team followed the instruction of ‘keep passing it until you score’ to perfection for a lot of the game and gave a chance to employ all 9 of the players. Rob Dunning and Liam Keyes both scored hat-tricks and Rakesh squeaked one and Mark Smith planted a lovely left footed strike into the corner which atoned for his earlier step back into the area to give away a penalty and Swifts their only goal. For the record 4-0 half time. 8-1 full time. Chris Pardoe, Steve Nicholls, John Green, Andrew Wherton made up the team along with myself in goal. Nico coached me well on distribution!
Bea laid on butties at the Park Tavern and beers enjoyed by all. 🍺🍺🍺
