U16s

CAS U16 vs CSSA 3-0 Win

The CAS boys could not have had a better start of the game , after 2 minutes Lucas Van Der Scheur scored from a solo run. He received the ball on half way and beat three or four players to put CAS 1-0 up.

The CSSA boys had more possession of the ball but didn’t threaten the CAS goal, A well organised CAS defence kept control at all times denying CSSA opportunities on goal. Substitutions were made at half time boosting our team and we went on to have many more scoring opportunities. The final whistle saw CAS win the game comfortably 3-0 with a brilliant team performance.

CAS U16 vs AICES 2-0 Win

A competitive match between two equally matched teams. The AICES started the game strongly dominating possession which produced some good chances. CAS were coming to grips with their 1-4-2-2-2 formation. CAS boys replied after the 1st 10 minutes launching quick and dangerous counterattacks however both teams went into half time locked at 0-0 . Fortunately the 2nd half had a very different outcome. The CAS boys were able to control the quick and technical AICES players and started to dominate the match. As a result Andrea Esposito scored a bomb from just outside the area . AICES did not give up and  pushed hard to get the equaliser but left themselves open in transition CAS took advantage of the space with a perfectly executed counterattack towards the end of the game.

The CAS boys finished the tournament with two wins from two games. They should be congratulated on their performances.
