Girls U12's Lionesses - Daventry Pumas

Excellent sign off to 2023 by the girls today with a strong performance at local rivals Daventry Pumas.

The girls were tasked to earn the result today through hard work on the pitch and they did not disappoint.

A strong start to the game saw the girls produce some neat passing between each other, along with some good strong tackling and winning the ball back quickly.

Elysia scored a great goal to get the scoring underway, showing great footwork and a neat finish to cap off a good start to the game for us.  Jessica then scored her first goal for the team capitalizing on a rebound from the Daventry keeper with a confident right foot finish to take us to half time. Daventry got themselves back into the game with a goal, but this encouraged the girls to get playing again in the second half.  Emma scored two goals in the second half, one a great finish in the top corner to cap off a superb midfield performance from her.

Erin, Myanna, Layla and Mona went close to adding to the scoreline but it wasn’t to be.

Great performance from all the girls today, including Sophia who showed super skills with both feet and Peyton and Amalia keeping things tight in defence.

Hazel worked hard and Lacey put in a great first half performance with tough tackling and wanting to move forward at every opportunity.  Mona also worked tirelessly in midfield and should be proud of her work rate today.

Bella made some good saves when called upon and kept her concentration when we were attacking.

A good end to 2023 and looking forward to 2024 with these girls and moving to 9 a side next season 😊

BIG THANKS TO ALL PARENTS FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT !!!
