AFC Waverton 2 - Heygarth 4
With only 4 girls present at kick off, Waverton were always going to up against it! Thankfully Heygarth lent us two girls, Jess and Charlotte so we could have a 6v6 game in the Spring sunshine.
With Hannah leading the line for the visitors, they always looked a threat. Captain Emma was excellent at the back alongside Charlotte and with Lucie's bravery soaked up much of the pressure. Elia and Lily worked tirelessly in midfield with Jess supporting. Elia just gets better each game and is going to be a real star of the u12s next season.
2-0 at HT and then 3-0 to Heygarth, but Waverton came back from a great long range shot from Emma. Then great work by Lily led to a fantastic goal from Elia to give the fightback real hope. Heygarth then got a 4th to seal the win.
We'd have won this game with a full strength side, but credit to Lucie, Lily, Elia and Emma who played their hearts out and who wanted to play despite knowing they were going to be outnumbered. Thanks too to Jess and Charlotte from Heygarth for turning out for us in such great spirit.
MOM - Lily Worden
Next game - Home on Tuesday (21) eve ko 6pm at Waverton. We need to know about player availability to avoid Ridgewood travelling from Pensby if we cannot put out a team.
So far - Lucie, Elia, Emma, Lily. So it is not on unless we have more players.
