Sunday 1st June 2008
| Buda Juniors Groups 2A & 3 team |
vs
Pilisvörösvár |
lost 2-5 |
|
Lewis, Sam |
Some of our players played their very first match in their football careers. After the first 5-6 minutes - when they got over being nervous - we started playing football and had fun doing it. Unfortunately by then Pilisvörösvár were 3-0 ahead. Lewis scored, but little mistakes in defence (from a lack of experience) gave another two goals away, before Sam scored for us. Both of our teams here - the first timers and those who had already played matches - played really well and all of us had good fun, even though the sun didn't rest and baked us all!

| Buda Juniors 1999 team |
vs Pilisvörösvár |
drew 4-4 |
|
Leonhard (2), Maximillian, Henri |
In the first 8-minute period of play, our players were determined, and took the lead through a beautiful move on the right flank, with Leonhard volleying in a cross from Alfie. Two minutes later, Maximillian extended BJ's lead from a powerful shot that beat Pilisvorosvár's goalkeeper. BJ failed to defend the two goals scored, however - just three minutes before the end, the home team got one back and then another to go in at the break all square.
The second period saw more excellent teamwork with Henri and Leonhard on the scoresheet for Buda Juniors, with everyone playing well. The two further periods were both goalless, leaving the final score 4-4.

| Buda Juniors 2000 team |
vs Pilisvörösvár |
lost 0-10 |
Our 2000-born players went up against the same aged group from the home team. Some of our players were playing in their first competitive match and they tried to keep the home team from scoring. After a few few mistakes from our defenders, however, we finished the first 8-minute period 0-3 down. Another 0-3 and a later 0-4 period meant that we lost heavily, but it was still a great experience for our players.
|
To be frank, the atmosphere was great, and those parents who witnessed the matches enjoyed every moment, as we could hear them shouting when a goal was scored by Buda Juniors. One could easily conclude that with more such competitions, our players and team will be such that it will take a very hard-working team to beat us in any encounter.

Saturday 8th March 2008
| Buda Juniors Groups 5 & 6 team |
vs
Tabani Spartacus |
lost 4-11 |
|
Oliver (2), Florian, Henry |
The 3rd match in a row and the most difficult of all, simply because Taban played with their players born in 1992 - most of our players were younger. Even so, we played well until the last half an hour of the match when our team ran out of steam. Oliver equalised to 1-1 and near the end of the first half we had more chances to score, but we went off at half-time 2-3 down. At the beginning of the second half we still played ok and kept the result tight. However, 6-4 was the closest we could get to Taban and from then on they took over the match. Obviously us making mistakes in defence made it easier for them, as to be honest about 6 of their goals could have been avoided...

Sunday
2nd March 2008
| Buda
Juniors Groups 5 & 6 team |
vs
Tát SE |
drew 3-3
|
|
Antoine, Florian (2)
|
The weather made the job difficult for both teams. The game started up with Tát's dominance while our players were still adjusting to the weather (or simply waking up!). Before we knew it Tát were up 2-0 with our players assisting big time before both goals. Antoine scored and not long after a Florian-Max-Florian passing move put Florian in a perfect situation in front of goal and he didn't miss this time. Equalising just before half-time gave us hope for the second half...
We started the second half with a much better attitude and team play, although still our team could have done much more. Henry missed two chances and Oliver had a go but missed. Florian's second goal made it 3-2 to us. Unfortunately not long after our third goal a defensive mistake gave Tát the opportunity to equalise.
This match will not be memorable for us in terms of our team play, but we have to admit that our players can work hard...

Wednesday 27th February 2008
| Buda Juniors Groups 5 & 6 team |
vs
Esztergom SC
|
won 3-1 |
|
Henry, Florian (2) |
This was the first full-size pitch match for this group this year. Going into the game without having any outdoor training, we could only hope for a good match with good team play.
We could see from the first minute that Esztergom were much more comfortable on the pitch, but our players did their best to stop Esztergom's dangerous strikers from scoring. The first half ended with 0-0, but Esztergom had more chances to score.
The second half started with a promising chance but we missed the goal. Not long after, Florian's ball found Henry alone in front of the goal and he didn't miss to put us one up. All of our players worked hard and in the second half started playing more and more football. Florian's two goals made the game safe, then the referee gave a penalty against us which Esztergom scored.
3-1 against Esztergom is a very good result, especially bearing in mind that our team hadn't played outdoors this year yet and some of our players had just come back from injury. Far from good team play, but hard work gave us this excellent result.
