U11 Turquoise 24/25 - Hemel Reds

Today we made the trip away to Hemel Reds. 

It was an early start for the girls but we felt they warmed up well and turned up with good positive attitudes. 

Unfortunately early on we were on the back foot after conceding a few goals. Hemel passed the ball really well and their movement off the ball proved to be just too much for us today. 

We managed to get a penalty in the first half but unfortunately we hit the post. We then got back into the game by scoring two well worked goals assisted by Lily and Eloise.

Half time we felt we were back in the game and the girls spirits were lifted and they were all in a positive mood to get back out there.

Closing stages of the game Hemel just had that edge over us today and they managed to see the game out. 

Not the result and performance we wanted but we know we win, lose and draw together as a team. Me and Paris both observed and feel we know what we lacked today and what we need to work on with the girls in training.  We will go again next week.

Eloise was our player of the match this week. She made some great pressing runs forward and took a great strike only for the keeper to push it wide onto the post.

Defensively she battled the whole game and never gave up. 

A special mention for her also as when we were giving team talks between the quarters she was always vocal in trying to motivate the girls and reminded them to always keep a positive attitude. As we always remind the girls, attitude is everything and even after todays result they were all still smiling and happy to be part of a great team. 

Well done Eloise.💜
