U13s (A) v Polegate Grasshoppers 5-1

Unfamiliar with this team we started with a 3-1-3-1 formation and quickly realised they had a player who could potentially score from anywhere inside our half so we had to snuff out that threat as best we could.
 
Molly took player of the match - her long goal kicks took the pressure off their attacks in both halves and without that we potentially could have conceded even more goals. Our strikers managed just 1 goal today but on another day it could have
​been a different story.

Maisie who took on the role of central midfield, battling against their most dangerous player and created chances that unfortunately didn't materialise.
Char and Jess C, our trusty left and right backs, fired in throw ins and bravely defended.
Alice showed resilience with her constant effort and Vez and Chloe both had numerous dangerous runs and chances.
Lily also impressed with her attacking runs and some great corner kicks!
 
We haven’t had a game quite as challenging as that for a while; there were some mature performances from players staying focused and continuing to battle on despite the score line which bodes well for future testing fixtures.
