Nice use of creative DOF...
Good action shot but there is quite a bit of unused out of focus space on the left so I would consider a very slight crop from the left side and top. Only a little though, they need a bit of space to run towards.
Nice shot , Maurice. Though you maybe consider cloning the pole (plus the cable) that appears to be coming out of the rear player's head.
Nice one.
Nice capture Maurice. Prefer the cleaned up cropped version ad I would also lose the second pole (unless you are showing it to people familiar with what's there ).
