U8/9 v The Elms won 6-4

WEDNESDAY 3RD MARCH

WON 6 - 4

Players of the Match: EVIE D

The Elms arrived early so we all had time for a good warm up, lots of shooting practice, which stood us in good stead. Once the game was underway, we dominated the score board, Tara O-R scored our first goal, set up by great play from Evie D and Immy N. Evie then managed to score our next three goals with accurate shooting technique, unlike The Elms, who despite a number of attempts did not score a goal until the third quarter. It was at this point, the match became very exciting, end to end play yet The Elms had the edge. They intercepted many of our passes and improved their shooting technique - scoring three goals. We lacked accurate passing and marking of opposite players, also the ability to "meet" a pass and not wait for it to come to us, as it will be intercepted. Going into the last quarter, we had everything to play for, the score 4-3 to us and the girls did not disappoint. They improved their passing and marking and we managed two goals scored by Tara O-R and Evie D to win 6-4. Well done girls, a good win but some points to work on in practices.
