Vs Macclesfield Ladies
Was a tight match the last time we played Macc and today proved to be the same. A physical opposition especially down the flanks and the first half was very much defensive play for the New Mills girls but they pulled together in dangerous positions to deny the Macclesfield's attack.
Again, great play from our back line with a shout out to Georgie who covered good distance and was a great support for Jaz on left wing. Eventually with calmness and great skill Jaz lobbed the Macclesfield keeper to open the score sheet, well thought goal and assist from Nieve in that central position only for the blue side to equalise going into half time.
Girls knew at half time how to make a difference, Nieve wanting more of a high press which we love and again, fantastic to see Georgie as left back up near the attacking end but still getting back across players when they counter attacked.
A much better second half for us as the girls seemed to settle in some, Mia again sitting in that defensive midfield position utilising her powerful shooting ability and gaining confidence to be able to instruct within the game and at half time.
Shout out to Alissa who took on board some feedback and pressed the keeper when needed, you worked hard today well done.
We've been working more on getting those goal kicks perfected and Taylor had a superb second half and literally saved the day for the New Mills side. Faster out the blocks and good decisions, well done Tay.
The girls fought to the end and deservedly, with another assist from Nieve, Scarlett bagged herself a great finish where we mightlely held onto the lead until the final whistle.
POTM today went to both Georgie and Taylor who both throughly deserved it.
Well done ALL the team, we face the same again in a cup game next week! Let's go!
