Lost. 5-3 to Bournemouth with a disallowed goal
Players of the match – Clara and Camilla
There was a very high standard of play today, and some of the best play of the
season. Bournemouth were an excellent side and strong throughout.
Our defence and especially some excellent saves from Fran (GK) ensured the
score wasn’t higher. Ané played very well in defence as did Maya, with some
excellent tackles and Anna managed a few good belts away from the D.
Bournemouth scored early in the game and then we thought we’d equalized with
a fantastic goal from Cailtlin after multiple attempts at goal. Sadly this was
disallowed after some discussion and an injured Bournemouth goalkeeper who
couldn’t play for the rest of the match. This was therefore a very good effort from
Bournemouth who managed to still win without a goalkeeper.
Elsie had some excellent runs up the line, passing to Ava, as did Clara who
produced some good tackles.
Ava’s speed up an undefended pitch, led to one of the goals.
This was a game a tier above our usual games and the girls met the challenge
well – but they will hopefully take some learning back about how they cover the
pitch.
