Today’s Game was against Blaby & Whetstone U16 at our home ground.
In goal today we had Jodie. Defenders – Ruby, Ella, Kaylee, Rebecca, Hannah, and Faye. Midfield – Mabel (c), Nellie, Elise, Jess, Evie M, Evie B and Ellie as our striker.
First Half – Todays game was a big game for both teams and we went in with determination to play our best. After 1 minute B&W scored the first goal by opening our defence up. The game then went on as a good battle with exciting shots from our midfield but unfortunately, they were just off target. The wind was getting very strong at this point. The girls were getting frustrated that the ball wasn’t going where they wanted to as we had the wind behind us. The game went on with both teams playing great football.
Half time score O&W 0-1 B&W
Second Half – Now it was time for us to try and equalise at least, but the wind was starting to get even stronger. I could see the girls were starting to get very frustrated that the game wasn’t going the way they wanted, and B&W made it very difficult for us in this half. We tried to take the ball up but was intercepted by B&W defence most of the time or their goalkeeper as she was completely ready for any ball to come to her. At one point the wind was that strong we struggled to clear the ball out from our 18-yard box but the girls kept the fight going until the end. I couldn’t ask the girls for anymore today, they put up a good fight and worked hard for the team.
Final Score – Oadby & Wigston 0 – 2 Blaby & Whetstone U16
Thank you to Blaby & Whetstone for another great game today, it could have gone either way. It’s been a pleasure playing matches against you! The team have great sportsmanship and you’re genuinely a nice team. I wish you all the best for the rest of the season.
Player of the match – This award goes to someone that I think had their best game to date with us. She was solid at the back and really took on board everything I have asked from her. In training I have been giving her feedback whilst she is playing and (which I’m sure this isn’t true because I’m a delight 😊) it must be very annoying. You have done amazing today and its great to see you progressing and showing us all that you have the skills to be great!
POTM goes to Rebecca! Well done, Rebecca!!! Keep up the good work.
Thank you to Rich for running the line and to all our parents/supporters that came to watch us today. Thanks for the help with the nets too.
I’m very proud of you all for how far you have come this season and you should be proud of yourselves too. I feel so lucky to have a team like I have with you all wanting to have fun but learn too. The respect you girls show me and Wayne is amazing!!
