We played really well today, our passing into space and ahead of each other allowed time for us to transfer and create space to enter passes towards the oppositions goal.

Our short corners were mostly great, but sometimes they didn’t go to plan and we managed to let go of a few easy goals.

Our transfers were really good, with one going from the top right corner of the pitch to Henny, Saskia then Stella.

All of our goals were impressive, with Amelie’s short corners being a highlight as they led to her hat-trick. Additionally, Nia scored her first goal of the season, which was super. And Rochelle had a great 1 on 1 with the goalkeeper and got 2 goals. Finally, Ashlyn also scored a great goal from a rebound off the goalie.

We did some great quick passes to each at the top of the D and entered the ball towards post really well and fast.

Also, our defence was very strong, preventing the opposition from even entering our D.

This match was amazing, however there’s always things to improve on, no matter the score line. During the first half, our intensity could have been a bit stronger, but luckily we came into our own and were much better at running as the match continued.

Additionally, there could have been more people on the post or at top D as this was sometimes an issue, with the ball going straight off the back line and to Ibstock for a 16. But this ended up not being too much of a problem and we did score a few goals from deflections, specifically P spot.

Finally, our defensive marking and tracking back could have been better as we had quite a high press. This meant that when Ibstock did get through they had a pretty clear route on goal, but luckily our defence was strong once we had tracked back, leading to them not entering our D once!

Overall, a great game with a 7-0 victory!
