I've been quiet for a while, so it's maybe time to show what's been going on with our U17 football team. All pictures with K-5 and Tamron 70-200 f2.8, mostly wide open.
Totally dominated the game but only managed a 1-0 win in over time.
A 0-2 win against a very physical team 160 km up north from home. A lot of sore ankles after the game.
Being the leader of the series and meeting the bottom team can be mentally difficult. A 0-0 tie and the first lost points in the series.
Without going further into the details our head coach resigned / was dismissed. Here's the new one whom some of you may even recognize.
The first defeat of the year 2012 but against a worthy opponent far from the north. 0-2 on the home turf.
On the road and winning again. 0-1 win against the original team of the Finnish king of football Jari Litmanen, who had been teasing our coach for a week before the match that we would lose. We're honoured to have had his attention.
Another game away from home, 170 km up north in Tampere. The home team was currently on the bottom of the charts and after our 0-5 win remained there. All our goal scoring players are in this picture, from the left: 2 goals, 2 goals and 1 goal. This was the first game I shot in pouring rain with the help of LensCoat RainCoat over the Tamron lens. It was a bit over sized but did the job.
There will be 12 more matches in the season and I'll probably do a similar post later. How will it all end, we'll know by the end of september.
