Wow where do I start with this one? We made life hard for ourselves by letting in the softest 4 goals I have ever seen. Losing lola late last night and having a now show meant we had 11 players in that heat which wasn't ideal. Then Olivia came off after bravely trying to play on after trying to kick the ball that bobbled weirdly. Katie reprised her GK role coming out of central defense.
It was obvious our girls couldn't motivate themselves due to lacking confidence and they almost threw the game away. Coming in 1-5 down at half time, some home truths were mentioned by mark and i and the girls rallied in the second half to play like they did last season in scoring 6 goals unanswered. Great to see Erin getting her first goal for the club. Sophia chloe and Louisa played very well in the final 60 minutes and it was pleasing to see Ella get a hat trick from the right wing. Maleah's corners were undefendable with katya scoring a great header from one and Megan I think and Ella. Annie scored a crazy looping, spinning shot to take the lead and the girls celebrations at the end were fantastic. We could have had many more goals, but the way they rallied and dealt with a possible humiliation, to turn it round, and come back strong made me and Mark very proud of all the girls. And with no subs, in that heat. Wow. The girls just need to play like they did today in the 2nd half all the time. With fire in their bellies. Final score Euxton Villa 5 - 7 Hassy U15s.
