2nd league game of the Season sees us away at Asfordby Amateurs.
14 girls available for todays fixture. Jodie in goal, Defenders – Ruby, Hannah, Kaylee, Ella (C), Madison and Elise , Midfield – Nellie, Jess, Tilly, Evie and Ellie our striker today. Rebecca who was also available for the game was unfortunately not able to play due to a referee decision about a piercing.
First Half – We were straight into the game with the will to win. We played some lovely plays, working as a team and then the Goals started coming… With great assists from the team and through balls Ellie and Evie did great picking them up and scoring. the team worked really well and used each other to gain the space they needed. HT 6-0
Second Half – After the girls had a rest and ate some oranges, they went back on Buzzing (oranges must have had a kick! :D) We carried on playing as a team but Asfordby Amateurs came back fighting and managed to score after a scuffle in the box. Some more great football which led to Evie running the whole length of the pitch and smashing the ball into the back of the goal. Another great run, this time from Ruby who went on to score a great goal! We then conceded with a great goal from Asfordby. Throughout the whole game Tilly was pushing to get a goal but Asfordbys keeper just not letting it happen. Final 10 minutes – Tilly took a cracking high shot over the keeper and finally managed to get the goal she had been waiting for and deserved!!!
Final Score – Oadby & Wigston FC 9 – Asfordby Amateurs 2
Thank you to Asfordby Amateurs for your hospitality and letting us play on a very nice pitch. You gave us a good fight and we look forward to playing you again.
Player of the match – This was a very difficult decision as all players deserved it today but after speaking to Wayne we have decided to give this to Ellie!!!
To play in a different position than usual today, you took it as your own and did an amazing job, working with your team mates and played some composed football.
