SNN - Valiant 6-2 (2-1)

A nice and friendly game took place yesterday at Valiant's field. First of all, I want to congratulate everyone in the team for their effort to show up which put us in the fortunate situation of having substitute players, I think for the first time in four months. Gian had RL problems, but Cyndee substituted him as a keeper sucessfully. Valiant showed fair play and we look forward to meeting them again.

The game itself suffered from ball problems, which didn't stick too well to the players' feet but the team with better organization and better individual skills eventuall won. It's a proof of how valueable training sessions are and especially the tactical session we had one day before the game. I had internet problems and I got disconnected during the second half but the team went on one man less and we scored two extra goals until the end after that.

I want to congratulate each and every player for the way they played yesterday. Let us show the same determination and joy of playing in each and every game!

This is the team as it played in the first half and second half:
First half: Cyndee - Josh, Sirk, Odette - John - Phill - Radu, Carl - Carloman
Second: Cyndee - Celt, Radu, Sirk - John - Phill - Bart, Carl - Carloman

Goals by: Carloman/2, Carl/2, Barto, Radu

Starting over again

We are on the verge of a new beggining: we have a new team and getting ready for a new league- the UKFA. Rebuilding is not an easy process but we have commited ourselves to it enthusiastically and with great confidence that SNN FC can be that great team that we all knew.

Reviving this website is, in this aspect, a part of the process. It has a new face, but it also links us to the past and new players can only browse through the posting history to get a glimpse of what SNN FC meant in the past.

Also, we've gotten a great influx of quality players lately: Odette, Bart, Proust, Carlo to mention only a few. As always we're interested in the personal quality of a player and not only in his playing skills. It's that SNN feeling that keeps us together and will help us move forward.

Tonight we are playing our first match after we finally managed to have a technical meeting. I am confident we shall look like an organized team and win, forza SNN !
