Girls U9's Lionesses - Boldmere Falcons
Today's game was a quater final against Boldmere, away.
The girls gave absolutely everything to this match.
We unfortunately couldn't get the win today but nothing can fault how well the girls played.
First half:
We started the game a little slow unfortunately which allowed the opposition to counter on us and put some in the net.
Our girls didn't drop their heads they were still up for this fight.
They put everything on the line, including their bodies with a lot of shots being deflected off our players.
We just couldn't quite clear our lines and they opposition were confident in shooting from outside the box.
We didn't give up and the girls pressed high and they battled for every ball.
Second half:
We changed our goalie with Elizabeth making her first appearance in goal.
A lot of the girls played out of position today and they all did so well. Every single one being a team player.
The opposition kept a high press and played very forward. We dropped and played more defence trying to utilise the long ball. We battled for every ball, and the girls got their tackles in.
They threw everything at the game and left everything on that field.
We moved a couple of positions around and this allowed Pheobe to play a couple of dangerous balls forward panicking their defence.
A excellent clearance from the defence, saw a ball to midfield reaching Phoebe who then played a cracking ball through the back lines.
A very well taken goal from Aimee saw us finally scoring. She chipped the keeper with an excellent finish, rolling down the back of the net.
Very proud of all them, the girls worked so hard.
We couldn't have asked for more from these girls.
POTM - Aimee ⚽️
