Team – Saanvi, Lexi, Lily, Erin, Scarlett, Mabel, Evelyn, May, Peggy
A tightly contested local derby saw both teams show the commitment and enthusiasm this friendly fixture always give. We had a full squad today, with all the girls keen to get involved and make their mark on the game.
The narrow pitch led to a host of throw-ins and corners and gave us plenty of opportunity to put into practice the hard work on set pieces in training.
Scarlett, Mabel, and Saanvi put on great defensive displays to keep a capable opponent under control. There was an unusual amount of play in the air today as a result of the larger amount of throw-ins and the girls coped well.
Lily, Peggy, and Evelyn put in a shift in midfield, not only making great forward runs into space but also quickly tracking back against an opponent who liked to exploit the counter-attack.
Lexi, Erin, and May showed great skill up front, demonstrating great positioning and numerous times challenging the opponent’s keeper.
The team should take some confidence from today’s match. It was a tight game and every player showed a positive attitude and continued to give 100% right to the final whistle.
The Player of the match went to Saanvi – Solid in defence whilst always looking for that key forward pass to turn defence into attack.
