U12 Girls vs Bluestar
The final fixture in the mini-league and the girls knew a victory would see them finish joint top.
The game started scrappy with very little chances at either end of the pitch. Slowly the Millers got a foothold and started to dominate
Brooke hasn’t played for a few weeks due to injury but she was as good as ever. Her corners were dangerous and gave New Mills their first two goals. First one was a scramble in the box with Neve getting the final touch. The second fell to Lily H at the back post who made no mistake.
Defence was excellent all throughout the game with Bluestar having limited opportunities in the first half. Evie Erin and Neve are a great defensive unit in front of Millie.
Centre midfield is an important part of the pitch and Lucie continues to impress playing their alongside Isla and Lily H
Just before half time Lily D raced clear and finished into the corner, giving us a 3-0 half time lead.
A few changes and the second half continued with New Mills on top. Florence and Penny slotted well into the defence and continued to ensure that Millie was quiet in goal. On the wing Emily was always a threat and was unlucky not to score.
The fourth goal was a great finish from Lily D which gave the keeper no chance.
The next goal was scored by Esmee who broke clear and finished one on one with the keeper
The Millers final goal was a typical long range effort from Isla that found the corner
Some consolation from Bluestar who grabbed a goal with the last kick of the game
Final score Bluestar 1-6 New Mills
Player of the game was Erin who performs at a high standard each week.
Well done girls 🏆
