| Match report | Cup Semi Final An early morning start saw us arrive at Brayton to find the Brayton team being put through their paces pre match. we ran our usual ' relaxed' warm up regime, getting used to the pitch and conditions. We did start slowly and after giving the ball away we conceded the first goal, as the ball took a bad bounce in front on Kayleigh. Brayton put on a lot of pressure early on but it was dealt with well by Captain Himsworth and Tash. We woked hard to get back into the game without our usual fluency, but battling hard in midfield were Eleanor, Grace, Annwenn and Lizzie, with Emily and Emma taking opportunity to hold the ball up at the top of the pitch. we got our just rewards when Emma equalised just before half time. The second half was a real battle with our passing game improving, and our battling spirit very evident, annwenn found a chipping wedge from somewhere and nearly put us in the lead, and Kayleigh made some great saves to keep the game at 1-1 after full time. Our superior footballing skills paid off with some great passing, and movement in the first half of extra time, and we went 2-1 up through a Lizzie Derbyshire barnstormer then 3-1 up when from a throw in we shifted the ball quickly via Emily into the path of Emma who struck the ball home. All credit to Brayton though as the second half of extra time they piled on the pressure, it was only some brave tackling from all the girls but in particular Lizzie, and some more great saves from Kayleigh. The pressure paid off when Braytion were awarded a penalty, not sure 'deliberate' was in the frame, but tough call for the referee. It took a few minutes to sort kayleighs ankle injusry but she got up stood up tall and watched as the Brayton penalty taker took the penalty and struck it over the cross bar. 3-2 to Fulford Under 10's after extra time and a place in the Cup Final. No more than the girls deserved. You should all be proud of yourselves for how you are conducting yourselves on the pitch, and how you are progressing as players. keep listening, keep practising and you stand a great chance of winning the cup. We got a really nice text from John at Brayton wishing us all the best in the final. Keep putting the effort in and the rewards will come girls, can't really single anyone out, you are playing as a team and that is what counts!! Well Done |
