U12 girls vs Tintwistle
Absolute cracking game of football to watch this week at the Rec. The result could easily have gone the other way but the girls battled hard to record a narrow 2-1 victory.
The first half was goalless but certainly didn’t lack any action. The midfield of Isla and Esmee controlled the centre of the pitch which resulted in some dangerous attacks, but the Tintwistle defence was solid. Half chances fell to Brooke, Lily D and Emily however a goal wouldn’t come.
At the other end Tintwistle were a threat with balls over the top. Neve Erin and Evie were all strong in defence and when the opposition did get through Millie was on hand to make a save.
Second half started and was much the same with the Tintwistle defenders restricting the Millers in attack.
It’s always important to have a good squad and all four substitutes were brilliant today. Florence made some threatening runs down the right wing and caused their full back lots of problems. Lucie and Penny both played well in midfield and this was definitely their best games of the season to date. Ella was once again superb in defence, winning tackle after tackle.
Midway through the second half the Tintwistle forward latched onto a long through ball and finished well into the corner to open the scoring.
Instead of letting heads drop the girls were determined to get a goal back. Shortly after a shot from Brooke was saved well by the keeper but Lily D was on hand to get the equaliser.
Brooke’s corners were dangerous all game and deservedly New Mills got themselves into the lead; Emily finishing well from a few yards out.
Last few minutes and Tinitwistle looked for an equaliser but Millie made some smart saves to close out the game.
Player of the match was a tough one. Neve was outstanding at the heart of defence but the trophy went to Florence who was great on the wing.
