Jeddah City Football Club (JCFC) Scotland Trip - 15th July 2011

Training was excellent today.

The Under 12's trained hard and Terrance came over to give them some much needed encouragement, they really appreciated that and it was excellent.  They worked on some new passing techniques and these proved very effective in the evenings matches.

3 Matches tonight against AM Soccer club.

Game 1- Ended in a 4-0 defeat.

Great Ball through


This is not half as depressing as it sounds!  Our team played really well!  We worked together and passed the ball quickly and really accurately.  Very impressive play.

Here we go first goal.


Daniel scored 2 goals very quickly for AM Soccer, which shook us a little bit, but we settled in and kept our heads up.  Then Jack made a fantastic run and scored an excellent goal.   Finally Reece slotted one in from a corner kick.

All the way - second goal 1 v 2 excellent play


All in all a very good performance from our team and the result didn't really reflect the way we played.

This turn was incredible


Man of the Match for AM Soccer Daniel. Man of the Match for Jeddah City Football Club Nour.

Game 2 Ended in a 5-3 Win (I said WIN Hurrah)!!!

We started strong and Kareem scored from a great cross from Nour to make it 1 -0.  Marwan our fantastic defender fought hard to keep the opposition out.  Then Rowan for AM Soccer scored an equaliser on the break which was very fluid play.

Our team started strong again and Billy slotted one in making it 2-1 to us.  Reece scored 1 back quickly making it 2-2.  The match was extremely close at this point.  Daniel ran through and scored again making it 2-3 to the opposition.  Then Harry ran through to take a fantastic cross from Luke to make it 3-3.

Luke took the ball from their defender and slotted a fantastic goal in to make it 4-3 to us.  Kareem crossed a ball in that Owen Hargreaves would have been proud of and Luke took it on the volley scoring the winning goal making it 5-3 to us.

Man of the Match for AM Soccer Reece.  Man of the match for Jeddah City Football Club Marwan.

Game 3 Ended in a 4-1 Win for us (Yup I said WIN again yipee)!

Archie was awarded a penalty and scored from the spot although Jacob went the correct way.  1-0 to our opposition.  Harry equalised with some great passing through the field from our defenders and midfield.  Making it 1-1.  Harry scored again with some fantastic passing from our boys making it 2-1 to us.  James took an amazing cross from Luke on his head and scored again for us, making it 3-1.

Some great fluid play from our team allowed Luke to score this time from his left foot making it 4-1 to us.

What was truly amazing was that our Scottish team members who played really well on our side were helping our boys out with their positional play and making sure that they had great cover.

Well done to both teams who showed great sportsmanship throughout these games.
