U13 Turquoise 24/25 - Garston pumas

today we travelled to bushey to play against garston pumas. Having already played them this season we knew what to expect and made some positional changes. We had a full squad today and all the girls were up for it after last weeks game being postponed. We started fast and went straight on the attack creating chance after chance! It took us 10 minutes but we finally got the breakthrough. Lexi with the throw in found alexia who slotted home the opener! ⚽️ 5 minutes later after some lovely football Alexia found pixie u marked in the box and she smashed it home for our second!⚽️ it was pretty much one way traffic for the rest of the first half but we just couldn’t fine the back of the net! Mia hit the post with an effort as did Ellie with her left foot!! Their keeper made a good save from a Lexi long range effort.
Emily who played the first half In goal for us today didn’t touch the ball once! So that tells you how the game was going. 
half time 0-2

At half time we told the girls to keep doing what they were doing  as they were playing really well. We talked about moving into space after the pass as the girls were static after realeasing the the pass. That is something we will work on in training. 

Second half we made some changes and again the girls were at it from the start. We were creating chance after chance but again we hit the woodwork or the keeper was in the right place at the right time! Finally we got a corner lexi took it short to Ellie who dribbled to the edge of the box and hit a lovely shot which was on target but the defender could only deflect it into her own goal! ⚽️

Alexia played a lovely through ball down the left and found calleigh but with no one in the box she could only shoot and unfortunately found the side netting!
With a couple of minutes to go I put Elizabeth up front. She WAS the only girl in the squad not to score for us! 

Mia got the ball down the left wing and crossed to pixie who knocked it on to an unmarked liz in the box! It was almost as if time stood still as liz went to shoot. But she did and she found the bottom corner!! And that was definitely the biggest cheer of the day! ⚽️

 and to see all the girls bundle her after was fantastic!! It shows the team spirit and friendship they have all formed this season. And as manager I must say it was an inspired substitution! 😜 but in all seriousness we were all over the moon for her. 

Todays game was another good result and another 3 points to keep us in the hunt for top spot! 

Final score 0-4 

we go again next week 

together we are stronger 💪🏻
