Goffs Oak Turquoise vs Berkhamsted Raiders Red

Today the under 10 Turquoise hosted Berkhamsted raiders. It felt great to be back playing after the long Christmas break.

It’s always a very competitive match with them and a fixture I really look forward to. 

First few minutes of the game we found ourselves sleeping and were being pressed hard by Berkhamsted. Luckily Lola and Mia at the back dealt with the pressure well. The girls soon stepped up their game and began to play how they know best.

Bella in goal playing out superbly whether short to the defenders or high and wide to the wingers. This allowed us to link up well and create some great passages of play. 

Each team coming close in the first two quarter’s but both keepers making some great saves to keep the game level.

Goffs were then awarded a corner so up stepped Harmoni. With a great in-swinging ball she found zuzanna unmarked on the front post. With a superb flick with the outside of her boot we took the lead. 

Third quarter we continued to create some great chances continuing to put their keeper under pressure. Unfortunately on the counter attack they managed to pull the game back level. Bella made a great save but their player managed to bundle it over the line. 

Final quarter and both teams were pressing hard for the win. Thea and Harmoni both firing great shots on target only to be blocked by Berkhamsted’s solid defence. 

In the dying moments of the game some might even say in added time Berkhamsted managed to bag another goal. 

The result may have not gone our way today but with such a tight scoreline these girls proved once again how much fight they have in them and this continued all the way to the final whistle. 

I could have mentioned every one of them individually today as they gave it their all. 

Mia and Lola in defence had possibly their best performance to date as a pair for most of the game and their progression every week is a joy to see. 

But standing just behind them in goal was our superstar of the day. 

She’s always there to help and give them great direction. She pulled off some amazing saves today. Well done Bella!
