POMs - Eloise S, Rosie W
It was an absolute pleasure to take the U8 girls for their first match of the season against The Elms. The team were quite nervous but as soon as the whistle blew they all sprang into action and played their hearts out.
There was quite a bit of bunching together but as the game progressed this did start to improve along with the accuracy of the passing.
It was extremely pleasing to see how good the team’s footwork was with none of the girls being blown for travelling. They were also very good at keeping within their position and marking their opposition players.
The Elms were the first to score in the second quarter but with some sound passing, Ella H was able to score in the third quarter and then secure the lead in the final minutes. The super defending by Rosie W and Annabelle N in the goal also hampered any chances The Elms had of equalising.
Well done girls, a super first match!
