The sky is the limit for this group of girls! 🙌
Just over a year ago they were a brand new team, made up of girls we’d brought through from wildcats. Went through spells of not scoring, not winning but the girls never gave up and never stopped working. Over the summer something just clicked, a real desire to win was instilled not parent led, not coach led but player led. We got knocked out of a tournament on penalties and had devastation written across faces. The girls vowed it wouldn’t happen again and won our remaining two tournaments.
They took that spirit into the new season. Going unbeaten in seeding games before being placed in the top division for their age group locally. The top division is tough, we lost our first two games but again that only spurred the girls on and the commitment, the willingness to learn in training took on another level. We had County in the cup this past weekend, a team we lost against the week prior. It sounds cliche but every player wanted it more. Every girl ran their heart out, every player played their best game but nearing the end we were 2-1 down despite having the majority of the play. I was already preparing my post match breakdown of how proud I was despite the result when our LW cut in with the last kick of the game and thundered in an equaliser top bins ⚽️
Typical us fashion we miss our first penalty but fantastic goalkeeping we keep them out and score our next few to move into the next round. There’s so much more to come and if the girls keep showing the same level of dedication they can go far in this game!
