Today the Fielding Girls’ team had Mia (6S) from the development team play his debut in the performance team.

Yesterday the girls had played in the Ealing football league and were all given individual feedback on what they could do to improve their performance. It was clear as soon as the game started that they applied this to their game.  

 

The defence was tight and the girls at the back Martha (6H), Emma (6H), and Anya (6F) all communicated well and made some great interceptions. The girls in attack decided they were going to press and score an early goal to build momentum. The first goal was scored by Flo G (5S) which was crossed into her. Immediately after, Evie (6S) then scored the goal by hitting a deflection from the defenders. Then Avaani (6F) came on and scored a great goal from a cross. Emma (6F) started driving the ball towards the goal and managed to score a beautiful goal from the halfway line. The final goal for the first half was scored by Avaani. At half-time, the score was 5-0.

 

Going into the second half we wanted to secure the win, so we experimented with different combinations of attacking players. Lyla (6H), and Ruth (6P) made some great one-two passes and set up Flo H (6H) to score a cheeky goal against the goalkeeper. Mia (6S) had a few shots at goal which were blocked by the keeper but Emma (6F) got an interception and turned them into a goal. Emma (6F) was asked to take a penalty as a handball was given, she hit the ball low and hard and scored once again. This resulted in Emma (6F) now scoring a hat trick.

 

It was great to see the girls play well as a cohesive unit and communicate well in attack. Well done to Lana (6F) who maintained a clean sheet.

• Emma (6F) Hatrick one of which was a penalty x 3
