Under-12s [Purple] 2 v 4 Saffron Walden GFC

Today’s match against Saffron Walden was a competitive one. They were a well-organized team and took the lead with a goal from a corner in the first half. Our girls showed resilience, and when the opportunity arose, Tasharna broke free and equalized with a well-placed shot from Ava's pass.

We came out strong in the second half, with Flo scoring directly from a corner to put us ahead 2-1.

We enjoyed a good phase of play before Saffron Walden regained control and equalized due to an unfortunate own goal.

The score remained 2-2 until the last three minutes when Saffron Walden launched a counterattack and scored a well-executed goal. Feeling a bit deflated after that, they managed to add another, ending the game at 4-2.

It was a tough result, but the girls put in a solid effort throughout. Kailyn earned Player of the Game for her composed performance in defense.

Keep going, Girls!!

Under-14s 5 v 1 Linton Aztecs

A fantastic team performance away at Linton today. The girls came out strong and quickly took the lead when Sasha executed a brilliant finish from a Flossy through ball.

Maddie made her return from injury, coming off the bench to assist our second goal. She delivered a perfect cross to Luka, who skillfully won the ball and finished it to make it 2-0.

Linton managed to score before halftime, but we elevated our game in the second half. Bethan was a consistent threat on the wing, providing a cross for Maddie, who set up Lila to find the top corner.

Bethan assisted again shortly after for Luka's second goal, and Martha capped it off with a stunning controlled shot from outside the box.

The final score was 5-1, with Luka earning Player of the Game for her two goals and relentless effort up front. A special mention goes to Tia for her strong defensive performance.

Great win, Girls!!!
