U12 CELTIC SHOW WARRIOR SPIRIT!EDITOR Sunday, June 09, 2002 19:32 GMT
The 'Celtic' were magnificent......Their group contained 2 of the fancied sides in Euro Dagenham and the South East England U12's. Goals from Ashley Hogg, Danny Cooper, and Michael Perry were smashed in from the lads as they gave their all in a well balanced side. Joshua Ross fought for everything and Tim Read (player of the Tournament) bravely and with skill kept goal. The crowd were willing the ball to cross the line from Danny Marshall who shone throughout and desperately seeks his season's first goal. He was so close so many times! Keep going Danny..it WILL come. Daniel Symes was suffering Hay Fever which put him out of 2 matches, but under the direction of Assistant Manager Karl Ringer, Daniel gave his all for his team-mates. Michael Perry ever improving caused havoc amongst the opponents and with a little luck on theirside the 'Celtic' would of progressed. Karl Ringer did an excellent job first time in charge as Assistant..And found out the Managers curse (lost voice)! I think it is totally unfair to detract from the excellent team spirit and play the boys gave, they deserve better than the moaning about who should and should not be on which 6-a-side team...it is easy to criticise and with Karl taking hisfirst matches, totally out of order and detrimental to what was a well balanced side! If I had heard comments I would of asked those parents to take their players home!!..It is in the Club Constitution sanctioned by the FA, that NO CRITICISM on team selection is allowed...Not all are to blame, but it is amazing how many 'Managers' come out of the woodwork that do not want the job full time! NO OTHER CLUB DOES DIFFERENT THAN THIS CLUB IN SELECTION AND ANY PERSON IS WELCOME TO JOIN ANOTHER IF NOT HAPPY!!..I can't believe that detrimental remarks are passed around during matches which are detrimental to players who hear thinking they are not good enough, and especially while they are playing! I think 'Celtic' were great and I'm proud of them, as Karl is, they claimed the scalp of the first goal against SE England. They gave their all against good sides, they are a good side, and they are wonderful kids..Well done boys! Their was applause from watching sides and parents of other teams..you are fantastic!
