Match report NMJFC U12s girls - 07/01/23
Stockport County Hatters Vs NMJFC u12 Girls
First match back and facing the dreaded, unbeaten County. The rain disappeared and it seemed the sun was truly shining on us during the first half. What a half it was too. We know this will always be a tough game but with an opening goal from Freya L in the first 5 minutes the smiles on their faces was so good to see.
The Stockport side came back with an equaliser and seemed to be getting frustrated, they definitely upped it a notch but we dug deep.
Ava did a superb job in between the sticks first half, calm and confident, coming off her line & with some excellent saves and decisions did us all proud.
Some tired legs from the Millers midfield today. With our 2 centre mid players tasked to make it difficult for their star player and some beautiful passing it was edge of seat stuff for 30 minutes.
Change around 2nd half and some frustration as the opposition given 2 short distance free kicks and a penalty made for a totally different game and left us well and truly on the back foot.
Well done Izzy for taking it on the chin as keeper 2nd half. Again, passing was great, off the ball decisions and giving options was good, combination play between Ava and Ellie in tight areas showed great partnership, the switch of play from Jazmin on the left wing whose ability to loft a pass across the field of play was a highlight for us coaches.
Another being our captain Nieve’s through ball, which resulted in Freya B squeezing through the defence to score was outstanding.
Great football when we can play out from the back like that and secure a goal, shows how good they are!
Nieve, you motivated, supported and commanded the team today, not to mention your skills and winning tackles. Superb!
Two players of the match though, I’m sure everyone would agree - Nieve and Ava.Huge well done to ALL the team today, we can take a lot of positives and work on other parts at training. Just a little note...we are the only team to score 3 goals against them so far…can’t argue with that!
Until we meet again County!
