Top of the table clash against Stockport Vikings. Earlier in the season it was the Millers who came out on top but unfortunately this week it was Stockport Vikings turn grab the win.
In the main there was little to separate the teams during the match with both defences on top. Neve, Erin, Evie, and, in the sending half, Ella were all brilliant at the back. In goal Millie had very few saves to make but came off her line well.
In the first half New Mills looked dangerous in attack. Emily and Esmee were good out wide and twice the opposition goalkeeper saved well from Lily D when through on goal.
Stockport however went in at half time a couple of goals ahead. One from a long through ball and the other from a corner.
Second half was equally as tight with the New Mills midfield impressing. Isla Lucie and Lily H were good in the middle with Florence and Penny performing well out wide.
Midway through the second half a penalty gave Stockport the opportunity to make it 3 and seemingly the game was over.
However, to their credit, the girls continued to battle and looked for goals. With 5 minutes to go Lily H scored a goal of the season contender with a shot from distance
Full time New Mills 1-3 Stockport Vikings
Unanimous coaches decision for Player of the Match was Neve who once again was outstanding in defence
First defeat of the season but the girls shouldn’t be too disappointed as the team performances continue to be impressive.
