Due to our 9-aside pitch being frozen solid, we had to play our match against Oxford City on the 11-aside pitch next door. Both coaches agreed to play 10 a-side. We played this game with our new player Beatriz Kretteis making her debut. After losing 3-0 to Croughton last week, it was important for us …
Due to Northampton only able to get 8 girls to play, we had to play this league game as an 8 a-side match. Even when playing 9-aside our home pitch seems big to our players, so playing 8 a-side meant there were going to be a lot of tired legs out on the pitch. After …
After expecting this to be a free weekend, we were given this late fixture change just before the school break. We are often a bit sloppy after breaks and generally need a few successive weekends of playing to get into a rhythm. There was also the added pressure of playing City Belles, who are always …
Given that our last away game involved a long journey, dreadful weather and ended in a poor performance, I was more than a little apprehensive about this weekends trip to Milton Keynes to play Tattenhoe. My worry lines weren’t helped by an awful BBC Weather forecast (it was wrong as it transpired) and that due …
Ruislip Rangers started the game nervously and struggled to gain control of the ball. Niamh commanded her goal area well when Milton Keynes were kicking long balls from their defence to their forwards. MK had most of the play 1st half with a lot of shots and corners which they failed to capitalise on. Towards …
The longish journey and freezing cold rain were a bad combination for us on a thoroughly depressing away trip to Oxford. From the start we were not at the races at all… gifting possession, missing tackles, running into each other, constantly overhitting passes, showing no composure on the ball and completely lacking the stomach to …
Another impressive performance by the girls saw them run out comfortable winners in this the 2nd of our initial grading matches vs Blisworth. In a fairly dominant 1st half we took an early lead when Niamh’s goal kick was firstly flicked on by Hayley, nudged further down the line by Sophie for Lauren whose run …
The first league game of the season against Chalfont saw a great start following some frustrating friendlies. The 1st half saw Amy O’Connor opened the scoring early after some great team passing and then was on the score sheet again from a penalty kick. Sophie Townsend was unlucky not to score when her shot hit …
