Irby 3 - AFC Waverton 1
A great performance against a very strong and high flying Irby side saw the girls come away without any points and disappointed. However they more than matched their opponents and the game could have gone either way in the second half when the score was 1-1. The home side made use of subs a luxury we couldn't afford and together with some talented players managed to take advantage of the scoring opportunities.
Keira opened the scoring the first half before Irby equalised and then had a great shot that clipped the post. In the second half the Waverton girls were heading up the slope. All of the girls did really well. Lucie made some fantastic saves in the goal including diving at the feet of an attacker very bravely to thrawt a certain goal. Elia and Lily kept running, Emma ran her socks off despite feeling unwell and Keira's delivery of through passes and crosses was excellent. At the back Hollie (complete with shiny new Predator boots) and Ellie kept out most of the attacks and played excellently together.
Don't be down girls, you have improved so much!

Thanks to Paul Harrison for stepping in as coach for the first few minutes. We weren't losing when you handed over, which maybe tells us something.
Next game is this Saturday, but we don't yet know if it is home or away. We'll keep you posted!
