Y3/4 Girls March On

A change of match day, and fresh opposition, but the Y3/4 Girls continue to go from strength to strength.
Today we played 2 matches against Bristol Ladies Union away at Coombe Dingle.
Lack of availability had restricted us to just 7 players, one of whom had got out of her sick bed to pull on the gloves and keep goal.
As it was we started our 1st match a player down, but it didn't really affect things as the girls were soon into their stylish passing game. Playing only 1 defender meant that Molly had to do an exceptional job in organising those in front of her, making sure they were all able to get back and help when required.
Lily bossed the midfield and with Ella and Lulu on the wings, Simran was given plenty of service up front.
Betty had relatively little to do in goal, but produced a couple of fine stops, and demonstrated great recycling of the ball.
Eventually the pressure told and the Foxes took a deserved lead, and so the match finished 1-0.
The 2 BLU's teams then played against each other. Due to uneven team numbers Betty stayed in goal and kept a clean sheet for the BLU bibs team, who expressed their thanks at having a 'professional goalie'!
The arrival of Ruby DR brought the Foxes up to full strength, and resulted in a 7-0 victory over the BLU bibs team, including a Hat trick for Sim and a well taken goal for Lily.
It was great to see such control and clever passing throughout the team, who really are coming together as a squad. They thoroughly deserved the result which sees them remain unbeaten.
