Today’s Game was our second game against Attleborough Sports U16, this time at home.
In goal today we had Jodie. Defenders – Ruby, Ella, Kaylee, Rebecca, Hannah, Maddison and Faye. Midfield – Mabel (c), Nellie, Elise, Jess, Tilly, Evie and Ellie as our striker.
First Half – The game started strong with Attleborough playing some really nice football against us. Mabel took a cracking corner that saw the ball straight into the goal! 10 Minutes into the game Evie had a great run at the keeper and scored the next goal! She then went on to score another 2 goals with the help of the team playing well supporting and passing to keep possession. The opposition goalkeeper did really well moving around her goal area and picking up our through balls.
Second Half – Oadby & Wigston went out with a task of playing in the formation we have been doing at training, supporting each other in shapes. The girls did just that and I couldn’t have been happier! Evie scored her 4th goal by placing it in the right-hand corner and then a few minutes later our left back Ella ran the ball all the way up the pitch and cut in to take a great shot across the goal and scored her first goal for the team!! Then another great goal from Evie made it 7-0.
15 minutes before the game finished, I wanted to try something to give the players an idea of what it is like for other players on the team in different positions. It gives them the chance to see if they don’t work hard as a team it puts more pressure on others, so I swapped the defenders and midfielders playing positions. Atlleborough put up a good fight which helped the girls appreciate the other roles in the team.
Final Score – Oadby & Wigston 7 – 0 Attleborough Sports U16
Thank you to Attleborough Sports U16 for a great match and was great to see you all working hard. I saw a lot of great attributes from you all with talking and helping each other. After the game had finished you didn’t put your head down and went round shaking all our hands, including mine thanking us for the game. You were all very polite and I wish you the best for the remainder of the season.
Player of the match – This award goes to a player that didn’t stop working hard the whole time and I can see you progressing hugely. You played amazing and kept that pressure on no matter what. The position of attacking defender suits you well as you are great at both and happy to help a teammate in a tricky situation.
The player of the match goes to JESS!!!! Well done and keep up the good work.
