Semi-Final Loss Ends Jessie's Second Hockey Season

Jessie's Under 11 Albion Park team lost their B division semi-final today 2-1 in a disappointing way to end their season. They led 1-0 at half time and looked the better team, but as has been the way this season they visibly tired in the second half, and along with what I thought were a couple of tough non-decisions by the umpires, were found out and beaten by the Fairy Meadow team.
I could have been biased, but certainly in the last five minutes when our team constantly attacked, I felt there were a number of times that, at the very least our team should have been awarded a short corner. However, in all cases they were denied.
Still - as an expert in semi-final / final / grand final losses, I can assure Jess that enjoying the game is the most important thing, because actual victories in finals can be very difficult to achieve.
