A Great Start to the Season!

The first League match of the season got off to a challenging start, with a very defensive team taking to the pitch and versatility proving to be the name of the game.

Our opponents, a very young side, came flying out of the blocks and put us under plenty of pressure for the opening five minutes. However, we weathered the storm and then produced a moment of magic. Charlie stepped up and scored what could already be the goal of the season, a fantastic strike that gave us the breakthrough we needed.

The pressure continued, with the opposition creating a few short-corner opportunities, but our defence stood firm. We also started to find some lovely attacking play further up the pitch, and it paid off when Katie found herself one-on-one with the keeper and calmly finished to put us further ahead.

Before half-time, Greggy got in on the action with another goal, giving us a healthy lead going into the break.

The second half was always going to be a test, particularly with a lack of substitutes meaning tired legs were inevitable. But the team dug deep and defended brilliantly. Despite plenty of pressure from the opposition, our defence handled everything thrown at them and kept the game under control.

And there was still time for Greggy to grab her second of the game with another great goal to round things off.

A fantastic team performance, plenty of resilience, some excellent attacking moments and a defence that refused to be beaten. A great start to the League season, well done, everyone!
