Today’s Game was our second game to Quorn Juniors U16, this time at our home ground.
In goal today we had Jodie, Defenders – Ruby, Faye, Kaylee, Rebecca, Ella, Hannah and Elise , Midfield – Mabel (c), Nellie, Jess, Tilly, Evie and Ellie and Reese as our strikers today.
First Half – We went straight in playing some great football and working very well as a team, the passes and movement were on point. From the start we were pushing hard and created lots of chances at goal whilst Quorn were keeping heavy pressure on us. Evie then went on to score the first goal at 18 minutes by chipping over the keeper confidently. A great battle from both teams gave Quorn a good run towards a goal but our defence were ready to stop them. With the team pushing forward, Evie won the ball and dribbled the ball through the defensive line and scored again! Followed by Ellie With a great first touch on the ball and straight into the net. There were a lot of chances from Mabel, Tilly and Nellie towards goal but unfortunate not to score. Just before the half time whistle we had a corner. Evie Whipped the ball in and with a scramble from the players to get on the end of the ball, unfortunately for Quorn it came off one of their players into their net. Throughout the first half every player was working hard and playing amazing together. Half time score 4-0 to Oadby & Wigston
Second Half – Not much of a team talk was needed as the girls were having a very good game of football. The score at that time wasn’t the thought on my mind but it was the technical football they were playing. Quorn came back out ready to fight back with great determination. They played very well together and kept us on our toes. After several chance throughout the whole game Mabel finally got the goal she deserved with a great strike from inside the box, She then went on to score another one a few minutes later. A great battle inside of the box area, Quorn had a good shot on goal but our defender had her arm in the way and they were awarded a penalty!! Our goalkeeper Jodie was ready and made a brilliant dive to save the shot. In the 62nd Minute Evie was going towards goal and was fouled in the box and we were awarded a penalty and scored.
Final Score – Oadby & Wigston 7 – 0 Quorn Juniors
