Oadby & Wigston U16 second pre-season Friendly against Blaby & Whetstone was at our home ground.
We had a few players missing, thankfully Hannah was happy to in goal today. we played a 4-1-4-1 formation with Jess, Kaylee, Faye & Ruby at the back – Then Ella playing in between the defenders and the midfield which was Mabel, Ellie, Nellie & Evie – Then Reese as a striker. Our Substitutions were Elise and Madison.
First Half – This was a difficult half and seemed to take us a while to get into the game, then B&W scored a great goal. The girls kept on the fight with Mabel Scoring with a great strike which helped pick our heads back up. There was a good battle from both teams having many chances of a goal before the half time whistle. score 1-1
Second Half – After a great team talk from myself and the Captain Mabel we went out with good spirits. We started to play like a team with some great passes and set ups, some great chances that kept going wide of the goal Then B&W scored a goal over the top of Hannah. They went on to score another goal which made the score 1-3… Again it was a very good battle between both teams until Mabel had a go from the 18 yard box and scored! Not long after that a foul to Ellie inside the box happened. PENALTY! Evie Took a great penalty placing it in the bottom right corner. This made the score 3-3. The Girls from both teams was pushing themselves to gain that goal before the referee blew the whistle and then Reese receives the ball from Evie and tries to keep possession of the ball from the defenders just on the edge of the 6 yard box and manages to find the gap to smash the ball into the goal!
Final Score: Oadby & Wigston 4 – Blaby & Whetstone 3
A Great effort from both teams and we look forward to playing them again.
This game was the first game for Kaylee and the second for Jess who both played really well and have seemed to gel into the team really nicely. It was also the first game for Madison who has only trained with us twice and worked really hard. Well done girls!!
