JD at Montagnola: change is in the air!

Our young players had an early start pitted against the Sementina Eagles and their performance showed it.

The almost perfect first half got the gears oiled. The fact that the opposing team was not strong either helped our kids stand up to this force for 20 minutes. Thanks to the goal by Captain Jakub the first half ended with a tie 1-1.

Unfortunately, the music changed after the break: moments of distraction and defensive mistakes on our part did not help the strong efforts of Lorenzo, our goalkeeper (great performance!), and we finished the match behind 7-1.

The second game saw the JRC in the rink against the boys Blenio Stars Unihockey: a very disastrous start losing 9 goals within the first half. The gap was closed by a goal of our Frederick, stoically in the field with a fever of 38 degrees! (special thanks to Mom Renata, who allowed him to play and we were not forced to give up the day ... legendary!).

During the second period, despite the score, our young players demonstrated their strength of character and ability to contain their opponents. Enrico was even able to put a beautiful goal in the "7" honoring the captain! Second period score Blenio 2-1 for a final score of 12-2. A well deserved victory for the opponents but also so much bad luck for our boys, hitting the goal posts and a little too much confusion and missed scoring opportunities in front of a talented goalkeeper.

Congratulations to all! We saw our small but admirable JD team develop and improve their endurance: their numbers are small compared to the other teams but always present!
