Girls Round Up - Saturday

U9 Girls

U9 girls continued our amazing run in a tough game away to Down Grange. We were down to just 7 players today due to some illness but the girls worked hard as a team, played some great football and got the result the efforts deserved.

Everyone played amazingly and a Millie-Mae hatrick got us over the line.

Girl of the game this week went to Millie-Mae for her goals and also some great saves when she went in goal.

Well done girls

U10 Panthers

U10 Panthers - a heavy defeat today agains a very strong Moordown side who have been playing league football for 2 seasons now.

Didn’t help that we had no subs due to Covid cases. Despite a tough game the girls kept going to the end. Jessica H score our only goal from a free kick.

U11 Girls

AFC Stoneham Tornadoes 2

Whiteley Wanderers 1

A well won victory which should have seen several more goals scored by the Tornadoes dominating the game from the off. A keeper fumble ball over the line and clear penalty were just two chances that should have gone our way.

Whiteley were a strong team but we held on for the 3 points by a strong Tornadoes performance.

U11 Girls

AFC Stoneham Pumas 5

Down Grange 0

Cracking performance on a dreadful pitch. Not a surface for passing football but we still moved the ball really well. Big respect to the players.

We dominated from start to finish and I’m not sure we lost a tackle. Their goalie was their MoM which says it all.

Our defence has become the bedrock of our team, Abbi, Amelie, Roxy, Sophie and a cameo at LWB from Nancy, played superbly both in and out of possession. I wouldn’t swap them for anyone in the league and love their tekkers

In midfield we dominated, Phoebe played like Roy Keane, even being told to ‘calm down’ and was often outnumbered but won the ball. All action performance from Nancy, did everything but score today and even chats with me whilst playing Erin enjoyed playing higher up the pitch in CAM, lovely passing, great finish and the back heel pass. Loved the confidence.

Most of the goals came from wide areas today. Aaliyah with a determined performance and brilliant goal. Lauren grabbed MoM with 2 goals and 2 assists despite the and linked up brilliantly with Erin and Abbie 2nd half.

Layla secured Opposition player with a powerful performance, direct and brave, on another day would’ve scored more and wasn’t even fit.

Abbie rounded off the game with a clinical finish for the 5th. Worked hard as always and her link up play made all the difference after half-time, allowed the midfield to create havoc.

Thank you to Waca for his co-management today. He told Erin to stop passing and she scored within 2 minutes so proved his worth. Kev as ever faultless Lino and defensive coach

Match report U13G girls

Away to Alresford in the mist.

A last minute venue change and we had to play 9-a-side with 7 subs!

We started very slowly and found ourselves 1-0 down but we grew into the game and hit back with a goal from Lillie Banks. HT 1-1.

Into the second half we had to change most of the team, unfortunately we conceded two goals. But the girls dug in and kept pressing to get one back. We did, Hetti Webb scoring 3 minutes from time but we couldn’t get the equaliser.

FT ALRESFORD 3-2 AFC STONEHAM

U14's GIRLS - EAGLES

Away v Vectis Youth (I.O.W)

It was a tiring and expensive trip over to the island today to face a strong Vectis side, but fun all the same!

Barely time for a warm up, our girls began their fixture on an uphill slope and overgrown grass on a huge pitch, so we were heavy underfoot from the off. A few girls not back to 100% and with our dependable captain unwell, we faced a tough one.

Vectis were quick to take advantage of the downward slope and sun behind them, slotting home on 7 minutes. We impressed going forward with Ailish especially terrorising down (or up!!) the right wing and creating problems for their otherwise strong defence, but we were unable to get in behind to take advantage of our chances. Vectis found the back of the net a minute from half time to go into the break more comfortably.

We came at them second half and created several chances but never really tested the keeper. Vectis took advantage of a rare corner 10 minutes from time with a cross fired into the box, ricochetting off our defence and into our own net; nothing we could have done about that one! Full time, 3-0.

We met our match today and the better team on the day won, well done Vectis Youth!
