Girls U9's Lionesses - Alvechurch U9s girls

This morning the girls faced Alvechurch in an early morning kick off. Unfortunately the girls faced another defeat against a strong well formed side. 

First Half: 

The girls had a bit of a slow start, we made some amazing saves but unfortunately Alvechurch managed to score. We managed to make some good passes and push higher up the field. An injury led to a keeper change, half way through the first half. 

We made some amazing saves and the girls didn't stop battling! 

2nd Half:

Some changes after half time with another keeper change and a change of striker. We had some chances and played more in their half in the second half, they had a good holding defender which kept our girls out. 

We made some incredible tackles to earn the ball and some good balls forward, we just couldn't convert them into chances. 

An overall good game and lots of game time for all the girls. Focus on training and next week's games. 

Well done all!!

Parents POTM - Eva earned parents POTM today, she was a rock in defence battling for every ball and made some goal preventing tackles and clearances. 

Coaches POTM - We couldn't decide on just one player of the match today. So we decided on Grace and Aimee(Aimes).

Aimee played so well today; she played in defence, midfield and striker. She made some crunching tackles and some impressive runs forward. Her confidence to go for every ball was amazing.

Grace played midfield for the first half helping to defend and attack. In the second half she stepped up to play in goal. She made some Mary Earps saves helping to keep us in the game. Her distribution from goal kicks was fab. 

We are proud of every single one of the girls!!

Well done all!!
