Girls U12's Lionesses - Alcester Town FC 7 - a-side Tournament

U11’s Girls Lionesses entered the Alcester Town FC 7-a-side tournament for the first time.  

The event was really well organised by Alcester Town and was a great day out for the girls and families.

Our group games finished with us sitting second in our group having Lost 1  - Won 3 and Drew 1.  

We were drawn against a good DMC team for our semi-final. We played really well against this well organised team and should have won the game having missed a few decent chances and putting a penalty wide too. The semi went to a penalty shoot out with us thankfully coming out on top thanks to some sharp shooting and superb saves by Bella.

Onto the final vs Elburton Villa who were team touring from Plymouth.  Having drawn with them 0-0 in our group game we knew we were in for a tough game as they played the ball around nicely.  We played with more belief and more on the front foot in the final and could have had a couple of goals if it wasn’t for some excellent goalkeeping.  Bella made important saves when needed for the team and it ended in a stalemate 0-0 and onto penalties again !

Erin stepped up for the first and calmly slotted into the bottom corner, followed by Mona unfortunately hitting the post but aiming as discussed for the bottom corner, Layla smashed hers into the top corner and in the meantime, Bella was making excellent saves putting Lacey in pole position to score and win ! And she slotted home nicely !! 

 A super experience for everyone and the girls were a credit to all the families that were watching on in the scorching heat ! 

Really proud of all the girls !!

Bella was amazing in goal !! Goals in our games were from Erin, Emma, Lacey and Layla. 

Well played Bella, Peyton, Mayanna, Sophia, Erin, Mona, Elysia, Emma, Lacey, Layla 😊 Great team work !!
