Burlington Access Storage Tournament

A very exciting and emotional weekend - we beat a lot of teams this past week and it goes to show that the Rising Eagles are starting to make some noise.

After coming off a spirited win over Oakville B, we headed into the Burlington Tournament on the right foot and what an accomplishment finishing first in our grouping. However playing in Burlington against their B team in the semi-finals was not going to be an easy task to pull off a win. We played tough with the lots of scoring opportunities "I would say a 55 - 45% precession for us and that in it self is lots of consolation competing with a premier team.

As a team we are starting to understand what it takes to win games... a constant focus and competitiveness for an entire game.

This week we will have three important games and there is no doubt in my mind - if we continue to play like we played this week "with high intensity" we will win all three games.

"There are soccer players, and there are people who play soccer.

There is a difference.

WHICH ONE ARE YOU?"

Burlington Exhibition game Vs Rising Eagles

As I reflect back at our last team performance - I realized we had a good showing considering - we our welcoming new Eagles into our style of playing 11v11. Even though we still have lots of areas of our game to work on we competed with a team that also moved up from the SRSL second division last year into the first division this year with us... but most importantly they have stayed together and added depth to their team.

If we continue to focus and try at practice on the key factors of development instructions and challenge our self to adjust and "get it" with an open mind - you will start to see your level of play, excitement and fun increase.

Here is some picts from our exhibition game Vs Burlington "C" team.
