Top of the league battle this morning; we had 2 defenders missing and then an unfortunate injury to Del leaving us a player down, who has thankfully now bounced back with a smile on her face!
Starting with the bare minimum of a squad, the girls worked hard throughout the whole game showing resilience and perseverance.
Shot stopping saves throughout this game from Taylor.
Three amazing corners taken by Nieve, fabulous shot & free kick taken by Ellie which was tipped over the bar by the Tintwistle keeper, another close range shot from Alissa which was also denied and clinging on until half time just to see the opposition grab themselves a pre whistle goal left us switching things up for the second half.
We had to monopolise on the strengths of some players which saw Scarlett drop in to defend for us again, being so versatile makes our job as coaches easier and the ability to switch around positions for the good of the team is a huge bonus, well done Scarlett.
The whole team grafted today but still Tintwistle found the back of the net again and now trailing by three goals and with 10 minutes left the mighty Millers girls were not done, plenty of shots, pure grit and fantastic attitudes throughout is what we like & resulted in Jaz going one on one with the keeper to calmly slice the ball across the front of their number one and into the bottom right corner of the net! With renewed vigour the girls ploughed on but were unlucky to not narrow the scoreline.
Needless to say, a great performance, don’t mind a defeat like that against a good side who clung onto their position at the top…. for now!
Our Player of the match today went to Ellie, who covered some ground, great attacking mentality, strength and skill & fought to win every ball, well deserved!
