Match report NMJFC under 12s girls - 11/03/23
Vs Dukinfield
“That is how you play football”.
Never have we doubted their capabilities on the pitch, but I hope today has highlighted that when they all work together, they get the results that they have today.
They relied on each other, you could hear the instructions and support to each other from the sidelines. Perseverance pays off.
Delilah volunteered for the keeper slot today and did herself and the team proud, a lovely save pushing the ball above the bar too! Huge well done!
Ava confident in right back today and covered some distance not only defending well but getting in the box giving extra goal scoring options for Brooke’s awesome corner taking.
Again, Ellie played with conviction and determination & was unlucky not to increase her goal tally.
The girls kept possession and passed the ball and showed some clever decisions to leave the Dukinfield side chasing after the ball. When forced to defend they were solid together & denied the opposition many times, were quick on the counter attack & a throw in from Nayia found Freya B on the scoresheet after just 13 minutes into the game.
An equaliser soon came only for New Mills to push on & with an assist from Brooke, Freya L led us into half time ahead.
Handing over decision making to them, they decided to put the same team out after the whistle and credit to the subs who maturely waited but then instantly got stuck in when on the pitch.
Pushing Ellie back into central position and Jaz back out on the left who’s into the 1v1s and shielding the ball to play it back in always great to see.
Nayia again, used her pace down the wing, leaving her marker behind to get a shot on but the rebound fell perfectly for Freya B to react fast & rattle the back of the net.
Straight from the off New Mills pressing high, the ball came straight out for Brooke to smash it back in from way out the area chipping the defenders and the keeper for a well-deserved goal! What a shot.
Dukinfield softening the blow with another as the ref blew his whistle.
Excellent teamwork today and an absolute joy to watch!
POTM today went to our Number 9 Brooke who was solid today. A wonderful, deserved goal too.
