This was a super event for the under8/9 girls, enabling them to play three matches in an afternoon, rather than one. The afternoon was lovely and sunny and everyone enjoyed participating in it. Our strongest opponents of the afternoon were Westbourne. Despite drawing 2 – 2 with them at half time we were not able to maintain it in the second half, losing 4 – 6.
In the second game we faced hosts Barlborough Hall and were 1 – 0 up at half time. Tara O’R and Amber H worked well together to ensure we finished the game 3 – 0 up. In the third game Evie D shot impressively, to put us up 5 – 0 at half time. After a lot of changes to position , this proved to be the end result too. Our three defenders Livi, Lexi and Laura M had a good afternoon, playing particularly well in the last two games. Immy N and Lily H passed the ball superbly into the D; whilst other mid court players, Laura D, Mimi C and Frederique assisted with the flow of the ball down the court. Thanks to all the parents who came along to support the girls, well played everyone!
