LWFC Boys U13 v SJR PINK U13
We travelled back to familiar turf to play an even familiar team… And what a game it turned out to be…
A nervous start that we managed to settle into but unfortunately saw us concede in the first 15 minutes but the girls were told to keep their heads high and get stuck in which saw us pick up a free kick 20 yards out, Pippa stepped up, picked her spot and 2 keepers wasn’t stopping it to level the score… 💪
Against the wind with the sun in our face was always going to be tough but every girl battled and battled which saw Matilda put us in front a few minutes later.
The lead was short lived when the home team scored just before half time but coming in at the break level was nothing more than the girls deserved… 👊
Quick pep talk and we sent the girls back out with nothing but to keep doing exactly the same with a little more scanning to keep track of the opposition…
Both creating chances but neither team managing to convert it into a winner so it ended in a draw… Considering the last time we played each other it was either 7-0 or 7-1…. 🤔 this is a massive step in the right direction and we all should be really proud of ourselves…
Take gender away this was a great game of football to watch and one that could’ve gone either way… I am bias and will say we deserved it but I really think we did today…. We looked hungry and wanted it and chased everything down whether in attack or defense…
But we take what wins we can get and that was the penalty shootout at the end…. WELL DONE GIRLS YOU SMASHED IT!! (And we did it without our top goal scorer…. 😜)
Goals today
Pippa. ⚽️
Matilda ⚽️
Not sure on the assist today as I was struggling to see through the tears 😭 😜….
Parents GOTG today and the parents know their stuff as the names with most of the votes were definately on my list however it was Maya topping the list and throughly deserved as she battled and battled and battled without coming second best once 👊
Unbelievable 💪

Coaches GOTG and we went boring for good reason…. There were too many standout performances that the only right thing to do was give it to the team!
Well done girls 💪 👊
