Inch perfect passes, cheeky backheels, clever flicks, deft body swerves, .... all from the team in the yellow shirts. Brazil 1970?
No, Waverton Ladies u12s 2007!
Unfortunately though there was no Pele or Jairzinho to apply the finish and despite the possession, the girls came away pointless from Saturday's game with Princes Villa United .
Princes Villa took the lead early in the first half and had a number of shots at goal soon after, which Darcy dealt with comfortably. Waverton got back into the game and following a great move, Olivia was presented with the best chance of the half to equalise, but just couldn't get a solid shot in at goal on her weaker foot.
It was in the second half though where Waverton played their best stuff, with some excellent passing and movement. Chance after chance was created but the girls could just not apply the desired finish. 2-0 to Princes Villa United the final score with the Ellesmere Port side completing the double over us.
Quote of the day: "Treat the ball as if it was a £20 note". Parent and stand in referee Derek Tuite's advice at half time (but as long as you don't pick it up somebody should have added!)
Next up, Malpas at Upton on Saturday 24th. Meet at 10:30. Please email or phone/text Mike if you cannot make it.
A number of girls and parents have paid up for the Birmingham City trip on 2 December. So far we have confirmed and received payment from: Ellie R, Ellie M, Katie, Sophie, Lily, Cara, and Rachel. For any other girls and parents (we know Olivia can't come), we need confirmation by this Tuesday (20 November) as we have to make final booking for the coach. Bristol Academy are top of the League but Heather reckons they are not that good! Please email Mike or phone/text him on 07901 552261.
Have a good week and get practising your finishing girls!
