Tournaments Day ⚽️⚽️ Started the day against a Lincoln side that beat us 6 nil two Tournaments ago, so today for Calverton to win 1-0 is a huge step forward. Credit to Ernies defensive line as I don't think he had a single save to make. Next two games finished 1-1 and not a lot can be done to prevent the two conceded. Sometimes just have to say "ain't saving that" but pleasing to see him make the dive and effort. Good distribution in both those games with very little else to do. Last game 1-0 win and two very important saves right at the end. Chuffed that Ernies has pushed those shots away from goal rather than back into the middle. Ernie Clarkson, Calvertons number 1 .

Good training session tonight. Solid handling, dealing with balls off the rebounder. Really pleased with the progress we've made with our feet positioning and push off to help make the save 💪 Have a good weekend all, smash any games you might have. Our next tournament is a week on Sunday yet 🙄

Solid performance today wearing his new J4K kit (he doesn't like his teams kit 🤣) 0-0 first game, nothing much to other than with the last kick of the game, their cf is yards out and we all thought it was a nailed on goal but Ernie spread himself well and blocked 🚫 3-0 win next game . Comfortable. Nothing to do other than quick distribution and a bit of sweeping up . 2-0 win second game, again not much to do for Ernie other than cutting out a few balls played across the box. 2-0 defeat for final game. A very strong Bradford City team. The whole team have to be super proud of their performance. Going toe to toe with a more advanced team both physically and ability. Lost the game to a pen and a unfortunate deflection. Ernie stood up and wasn't phased which is pleasing as he has stepped up an age group.

A challenging session today using the wet mat. Gloves were superb in the wet conditions 👌 helped today with the unpredictability of the ball off the wet to be focused and not make early movements assuming the ball was going a particular way. A good learning exercise. Have a good week every one 🙂

A little drill we've been working on to try encourage that reach with the hand not holding the ball then quick recovery to stop the next shot. Really happy with the progress on making the initial save, just want to work on the getting up part as Ernie keeps turning into the goal and having his back to the ball. Have a good rest of the week all 💪
