A fresh Sunday morning on Rememberance day and the girls faced Ashton again but this time in the cup.
The freshly marked pitch looked fantastic & with great attitudes in the warm up and use of the changing rooms being a novelty for us, we blessed our boots and set out to face the team that beat us by many goals last time at their home ground.
A scrappy first half with Ashton securing 3 goals in the first half an hour.
The girls wanted to play the formation we've successfully used for the previous two games which we had to switch up at second half as this clearly wasn't working as the Ashton side passed the ball about leaving us chasing.
Some brutal honesty from some of the girls in the half time chat and they came out with renewed vigour for a better second innings.
Well taken corners and throw ins from the New Mills side and finally with a lovely little chip from Grace over the defending players into the box, the ball found the back of the net, a big roar from the supporters & well celebrated by the team!
Our player of the match today went to Alissa for incredible wing play, she put a shift and a half in today, got stuck into every tackle, got in front of her marker and gave as good as she got from a strong, physical player and produced some quality crosses.
We face these again in a couple of weeks...watch this space!
Well done team.
