01/06/05 - End of Season 2004/5.

Looking back on our first season in the DDSL the team has made good progress earning promotion after Christmas to '8D' & finishing a respectable third place in that division. Since then we've scored 26 goals & amassed 16 points with five wins & a draw. As our defeats were all very close games with a little bit of good fortune we might have stolen the runner-up spot but given that this was our first season we can be satisfied that we've acquitted ourselves quite well.

I was particularly pleased with our team spirit, I think all players realise that playing as a team, encouraging & helping each other, is the key to success & enjoyment! Regular training is also essential for player & team development. So remember: Practice, practice then more practice!

My thanks to my side-kick Mike & to all the parents who braved the elements over the season. Also thanks to Val for helping out when needed & refereeing most of our matches (too fairly)!!

Finally congratulations to Eoin Kennedy, our Player-of-The-Year. Choosing one player proved very difficult as each & every one is deserving of praise. However it wasn't just for Eoin's silky-skills on the pitch that he was chosen, but also for his overall attitude & behaviour at training & at matches. Well done to Eoin & to all our players.

I'll be in touch over the summer, enjoy your holidays!
