U13s SUSSEX COUNTY CUP (H) v STEYNING 4-0

We marched on in the County Cup after a confident win today. The game started brightly with an early goal for Maisie, set up superbly by Vez. Steyning grew into the game while the gap stayed at one but Chloe stepped up to smash home her first goal of the season making it two with an assist by Alice.

At the back, Annie, Molly, Jess and Lauren worked hard alongside Char to protect the goal, with Freya and Pia largely untroubled between the sticks. We enjoyed a long spell of corner after corner; the deliveries were excellent, our heading less so - plenty to work on there.

Maisie continued her scoring form in the second half with a delightful finish from the right. Olive caused problems down the left and was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet herself. Vez wrapped up the win with a lovely finish to make four. 

Notable performances came from Annie, again rock solid at the back, Char for her timely tackling, and Jess Walker for her tireless running throughout.

Next week brings our second league game, away to Rustington Otters, a team we've faced before and one that promises a good contest.

Special thanks to our local referee and assistant Greg for running the line - grass roots isn't possible without you.
