FALL 2012 SEASON
Plymouth FC U11's 3 - 4 Crush
Plymouth FC once again played some fantastic football, but they will come away from the game not really sure how they did not take all three points.
Although the results have not gone their way, Plymouth FC can hold their heads very high this season knowing that they played the game in the manner the game is supposed to be played.
Plymouth FC U11's 2 - 2 Synergy
Although Plymouth FC pressed for the winning goal over the final minutes of the game, they will ultimately come away from the game believing that a draw was a fair result.
Synergy came out firing on all cylinders in the opening 15 minutes of the encounter, and although they found themselves trailing 1-0, they were ultimately able to press home their advantage and claim a deserved 2-1 lead going into the interval.
Plymouth FC started the second half in the same manner in which they finished the first, and started to gain control of the game.

Plymouth FC U11's 3 - 5 Wasatch SC
Once again only playing with 8 players, Plymouth FC put on a passing clinic in the opening half, but ultimately left Kaysville empty handed.
Plymouth FC played some exceptional football in the first half, but were only able to convert two of a handful of chances they created. Conversely, Plymouth FC limited Wasatch SC to only two shots on goal in the opening 30 minutes, of which they took full advantage.
Plymouth FC understandably tired in the second half, and conceded three soft goals before adding a consolation goal in the final minutes of the game.
Regardless of where Plymouth FC finish in the league standings, they can hold their heads high in regards to the manner in which they played the game this season. Even though it may not have always played out as pictured, Plymouth FC always attempted to pass the ball, and they played the game of football the way that it is suppose to be played!
Plymouth FC U11's 0 - 2 Chaos
Plymouth FC, playing with only eight girls, fought tooth and nail against an athletic Chaos team, but came up short once again. As has been the case all season, although Plymouth FC technically played the superior football, they are just not quite ready to compete against the physical kick and rush style of football.
Plymouth FC U11's 2 - 7 La Roca South Premier
Although La Roca deserved all three points, anyone who was in attendance would argue that the scoreline did not truly reflect the game.
Plymouth FC fought tooth and nail, whilst still attempting to play football in the first half against an undefeated La Roca team, and deservedly were only trailing 2-1 at the interval. The second half saw a visibly tiring Plymouth team unable to contain the physically superior La Roca team, and conceded a handful of soft goals over the closing stages of the game.
Plymouth FC can hold their heads high in this game in regards to both the manner in which they competed physically with La Roca during the first 40 minutes of the game, and the fact that they continued to attempt to play football. One day football will prevail over athleticism....just not today!

Although both teams searched for the winning goal, for not the first time they both had to settle for a share of the points.

Plymouth FC U11's 2 -5 Avalanche Black
