Greenleas Celtic 5 - AFC Waverton 1
A tough encounter against one of the best sides in the League was played out on a huge pitch at St Georges School in Wallasey.
The Waverton girls started brightly and showed that they could deal with the challenge of one of the Leagues top sides, Greenleas Celtic. Great defending from Lucie, Meg and Holly kept the green hoops at bay but the strength of the home side eventually showed and Celtic took the lead.
Another goal followed from a move down the right.
2-0 at half time but a great Waverton move saw Keira's shot find the back of the net. Greenleas fought back and extended the lead despite some excellent goalkeeping from Caitlin.
This was a good performance against one of the best sides in the League. There were fantastic displays all round the pitch - Ellie's tackling, Elia's moves to create space, Meg's defending, Lucies running, Lily's tenacious approach, Keira's passes, and Emma's leadership. We could have easily have scored more, Lily went very close for example and we defended much better in midfield when we lost the ball than of late. Play like this against some of the other sides and we will be picking up more points.
MOM - Ellie Riste - how we loved the cartwheel when she came off in the second half!
Training 6pm Wednesday at Christleton Sports Centre. Be there.
