tion process and match readiness of the squad.
In a post-match comment, Golden Jaguars’ Head Coach Michael Johnson said he was satisfied with the performance of the team: “Today’s game was good preparation. It was a tough opposition, particularly in the second half. We just kept going away but it was great to see the players over the course of 90 minutes in a competitive fixture against a combined WDFA side. I thought we moved the ball really well and created lots of opportunities in the first half especially.
Sheldon Holder was a threat, Trayon Bobb with speed on the outside was good and I think Leoorin (Lovell) took up some good positions in the middle of the park.”
“All in all, it was a really good exercise to see the players for 90 minutes on the surface,” said
Johnson. “I’ve got to see players I have not seen previous to this training camp. So, it was one of success and it has given me a lot of food to take home.”
