The U14 Kestrels had a brilliant season, and finished league runners up so it's only right that we update you with their last few player of the month awards. Sponsors Cheal’s on Wheels know a thing or two about good footballers too, hence backing the Kestrels this season!
March's award went to Daisy! Daisy is an energetic and dynamic wide midfielder who excels at stretching the pitch and creating attacking opportunities. She has a great work ethic and contributes both in Kestrels ability to defend by working hard to get back into position, but also showing top fitness levels to go support the attack. Daisy combines natural speed with technical ability in 1v1 situations and is a constant threat on the flanks. This season she has also developed her understanding of when to drive at defenders and when to combine with teammates, making her an even more difficult player to play against. As a right footer playing on the left, she has worked hard on her weaker foot which gives her more options to either cut inside to shoot or go outside and cross.
Daisy had a great month in March and contributed hugely to the team with goals and assists - well done Daisy, fully deserved!
Beth was the April nominee! She has had a tremendous season, but April was a really great month for her with Kestrels. She has developed into a confident dribbler with the ability to beat defenders in tight spaces and create room for her shots. Beth has an exceptional first touch under pressure, allowing her to quickly transition from receiving the ball to shooting. She also has excellent off the ball movement which is essential as a striker, she creates passing lanes and exploits space behind the defensive line. Comfortable striking the ball with power or placement, Beth also has the speed to outpace defenders and is extremely poised in front of goal, with a high conversion rate for 1v1s. In April she scored five goals in one match then a ten minute hattrick in another - so a massively deserved award again!
