Rugby Town U11s vs Albert Village
Sunday 5th November
Sponsor: Purely Mortgages and Life Investments Estate Agents
Squad: Norah, Poppy, Emma, Gracie, Ellie, Olivia, Millie, Izzy and Bella
The U11s were back at home against Albert Village, after a heavy downpour the last few days the pitch was in good shape and the sun was shining.
Rugby started with Norah in goal, Poppy and Emma in defence a midfield three of Olivia Ellie Gracie and Millie leading the line.
The Girls started as fitting as the day for Guy Fawkes full of sparks and intense periods of play which saw driving runs from both Millie and Ellie and backed with endeavour from Olivia and Gracie on the flanks. The defence led by Poppy and Emma grew into the game and left Norah very little to do in an entertaining first half which also saw Izzy and Bella enter the play and quickly adapt to the fast pace Rugby had set.
The second half saw the squad rotated but again wherever the girls were asked to play they were doing a grand job. There were a few moments of lapses but first class performance from Norah dealt with any issues.
CPOM: Norah, with little to do at times when called upon was alert in goal and pulled out a stunning performance worthy of CPOM.
PPOM: Millie, terrified the opposition defence and exploited the spaces well with her footwork, covered further back and slotted in effortlessly.
