Tytherington Vs New Mills Juniors u11Girls
Big game again today against a side that play a superb passing game and are extremely organised. Physically tough but the girls upped their game for an even match. Before kick off, I got them to talk about how the opposition played when we last faced them, what they think they need to do in this game and how they were going to do it. Looking like they needed a little time to settle into the game there was an early opener by Tytherington but the Millers came back in the game with a mean free kick from Lily straight through a gap in a big wall and into the back of the net. Once they’d settled in it was a good game to watch.
Tytherington popping off a couple more but Freya B bringing it back to even with a battle through their defence and an assist from Nayia, keep using your big voices midfield, it’s working. Hugely better second half where they’ve obviously dug deep and battled for themselves, so many positives out of today, Ava dropping back to help defend beautifully, Nieve constantly getting into space and shouting for the ball, Phoebe’s determination in 1v1s. Freya L & Jaz unlucky to not have scored but taking those chances. Jay keeping the pressure on and supporting midfield, Brooke with some tidy passing through tough opposing players, Lily with a couple of great saves (and getting injured in the process) really brave! Bella our Captain for today, you did great and shouting and helping your team to defend or push or get into space.
Could’ve had a couple more goals out of today which shows the effort they all put in.
Today, even though they missed out by 1, they were our winners today, they looked happier & most importantly were proud of themselves! Perfect! Some personal achievements for some today, small things that not many would notice but massive to those that did – so pleased.
They are confident, they are a real team who look after each other and believe in themselves – what more can you ask? Hold your heads high girls.
Girl of the Match today was decided by the parents watching (thank you for the positive support) and went to Lily for the free kick, the great saves and defending! #yesgirls #upthemillers
