U14 Purple 24/25 - Welwyn Pegasus

GOG U13s Purple vs Welwyn Pegasus

Another away trip on a lovely wet day, but the girls was confident from last weeks result. We start ok going downhill hoping it will have an impact in the first half. The first 15 minutes were even, Welwyn had a quick striker but we have our own speedy defender (Sofia ) who with a few strides would catch her and quickly deal with any danger. Maya and Seraphina were also comfortable at the back especially when their keeper would give it a good boot downfield. 

With us playing good passing throughout, good work on the right and Emma was through on goal! She battled hard to get away and calmly slots it into the back of the net. With that first goal the pressure calmed down a little and again we played some good football. Ella and Antonia were so strong in the middle, a little too strong for the ref sometimes. But good to see them in their roles putting in the hard works. Lana who last year wasn’t able to score a goal has been on fire lately and again she done the job for us putting away a snap shot chance. 

2-0 half time. 

Words at half time was simple again. Keep playing the way we are, dominate the middle and we will see the results. The only thing was Welwyn was going down hill and we thought they could use that against us! First 10-15 minutes we pegged them back into their own half giving them no outlet from the back but once it did Seraphina was like a bull straight onto them clearing the ball. Mariah, Jess , Antonia and Emma all had chances throughout the second half but their keeper kept them in it. 

With a little scramble in the goal area, the ball fell to Lily J feet who smashes it bottom corner to make it 3-0. With a three goal lead we knew it could be more but again their keeper was solid for them. Seraphina, Maya and Sofia were so calm at the back, once they would tackle their attackers the distribution to our attackers was spot on. Great to see the three of them gel so well together speaking to each other throughout the game. 

3-0 final score

Another great victory for the girls who are showing that not only can we score the goals up top but our defence is keeping the dangers out. A shout out to Aaliyah who even though she wasn’t that busy in goal today she was still focused throughout the game 😉

We go again next week
