Year Three Girls vs St Nicks, 17th January

What a great game and how well all of our seven girls played. St Nicks are a club that have a long tradition of producing strong girls' teams and their u8s looked no exception. With at least four players missing it was great that we could field a team. Sacha was playing her first game for the u8 girls, Sophie HR, Phoebe and Emily C only their second and it was only Bryony and the Annas (R and D) who played with us last season.

The result (a 7-0 defeat) doesn't really tell the whole story. Once we had sorted out our goal kick routine the game was much closer. In the end both Phoebe and Anna D came really close to scoring and I'm sure we will break our scoring duck in the next game.

Everyone did brilliantly - Emily C making a number of brave saves in the first half, Sacha and Sophie tackling hard and Anna. Anna and Bryony working hard in midfield. Player of the match though was Phoebe for her running with the ball and fearless tackling.

Well done all.
