Match report NMJFC U12s girls - 25/03/23
New Mills u12 Girls Vs Cheadle & Gatley
For the first 20 minutes of the game, it was fairly even, each team closing the other down and trying to break through defence lines.
With 6 mins of the first half left, Cheadle went ahead. The ultimate challenge for the New Mills side lately, can they dig deep or will they be mentally affected. A tough task for anyone let alone 11/12 year olds.
Just before the half time whistle, time for a couple of more goals for the opposition who were scoring from far out.
A chance to make a difference in the second half which came from Freya B ten minutes in.
Bit of a scrappy game today but from a coaching point of view, there were many moments in this game that reflected what we’d be doing in training with closing down and covering defensively.
If Nieve was shutting down a player, Jay was there to cover and these 2 worked hard at that, which was great to see.
Loving Nieve’s instructions of ‘if you need’ or ‘go too’ or ‘time’, likewise Jay communicates so well in the box by picking out players that are left unmarked.
Morale is low but we have to remember they earnt their place in the top division against extremely good teams, many of them playing up a level too, it’s an opportunity to improve when you play teams like this. Give the girls a boost if you see them out & about! Keep going.
POTM today, our little dynamic defenders who applied training sessions to the game despite the difficulties we faced - Nieve & Jay, well done girls (smiley faces too)
