Elks U7s v Burton

The return leg against Burton at the Stute brought wet weather today. However that didn't dampen the numbers or spirit of the players in attendance. The Elks put out two teams, with Burton able to match this and run a training section. To keep everybody warm, we increased the teams to 6 a-side which gave the players fresh challenges with the lack of space to work with.
Players and parents remained enthusiastic despite the conditions, with a mixture of support and friendly abuse for the referees. Not a forward pass was thrown by the Elks, but using the space against a well-organised team will be worked on in training next week.
Credit must go to both sets of parents, and players because the morning was played out in great spirit and some great moments of honesty / sportsmanship. Lets hope the sunny weather returns for training next week......
