U17/8 JPL 24/25 - Garston Ladies Jaguar’s

Garston Ladies Jaguar’s v Goffs Oak Girls U16’s

So this week we travelled to Garston.

Message before the game was to start strong and win the 50/50 balls. It didn’t start that way with us going 1-0 down within the first minute, sloppy defending in the box. From the kick off we pinned them in their own half and on 3 minutes up popped Grace with a shot just in their half that went in over the keeper’s hands. We continued to press and with Olivia crossing a low hard ball in from the right, which bounced off their defender into the net, 1-2. The rest of the half was an even battle with not many chances until the last minute,when indecisive defending resulted in Garston scoring from close range, half finished 2-2.

At half time we had to tell the girls that we need to play at a higher tempo and play our normal football. The half started evenly with a few chances to each side. As the half went on Garston put us under real pressure with numerous corners, by now we were holding on and playing really deep. We managed to weather the storm and started to play again, with a few chances falling our way, but it just wasn’t our day, with the game finishing 2-2.  

Scorers: Grace/Olivia
