Eagles fly high in Flexi League opener

We began our Flexi recreational league campaign in style, announcing ourselves as a side to watch for our organisation, teamwork and positive attitude. With a strong starting line‑up of Michelle B in goal; Michelle AB and Iwona in defence; a midfield three of Jill, Rachel and Angela; and a front three of Laura, Chloe and Hayley, plus Anika and Harriet making her big‑pitch debut, we were well‑structured and ready.
 
From the first whistle, we moved the ball with purpose, pressing forward and keeping Pevensey under sustained pressure. Jill found excellent pockets of space around the edge of the box, linking play and driving us forward, not once, not twice, but three times... Hat-Trick! Harriet slotted in confidently at the back, with Anika adding energy in midfield, and the team maintained strong momentum throughout the half. Pevensey looked for ways to break through, but Michelle B was commanding, claiming loose balls, organising the back line, and turning defence into attack with composed distribution.
 
After the break, we continued to control possession and create regular opportunities through patient build‑up and wide play. Angela finished off a flowing passing move, while Chloe capped the performance with a powerful left‑footed strike following another well‑worked attack.
 
Vice‑Captain Michelle A‑B praised the team’s passing and movement, the strong wing play from Laura and Angela, and the whole squad’s work rate in tracking back and supporting one another.
 
Looking ahead, she highlighted communication and composure in attacking areas as key development points, encouraging players to take an extra touch and pick their spot. Above all, she celebrated the balance of competitiveness and enjoyment, exactly what Flexi League football is about.
 
Jill rounded off her day as Captain with an outstanding all‑round display and was deservedly named Player of the Match. Bring on the next one! ⚽💪
