Hello Beekeepers,

The team made the long ride to Saint James for our second game in that many days. The team looked better against Friends, but all the players knew that Saint James would be more challenging.

As our bees started to show a strong understanding of our 3-5-2, the coaching team asked for a lot of passing to spread our opponent of the day. The pitch at St James is fast and with a fresh cut, we hoped it would be a good strategy.

Flying and stinging like Mohamed Ali(s), our bees were on the scoreboard rapidly.  Two goals in the first 10 minutes of the game after well-constructed movements. The rest of the half was a succession of attacks that were as sweet as honey to watch.

In the second half, we asked our black and gold to keep their efforts and their passing game. Saint James tried a couple of tactical changes to surprise our wingmen, but our defender kept the fort. 
With the ball, the whole team used all the available options, in front of them, crossing, or passing to the back. For most of the half, our bees looked like seasoned players.

Those constant waves from the left to the right, from the forward to the back gave neck pain to the spectator but opened many spaces for our striking bees. And two more goals came out of it.  One last own goal was scored after several very dangerous corner kicks.

Final score 5-0

Good job to our Bees great week so far.
