Nike U-10 Coach Sarah Coulton
The girls had an indifferent weekend. In the first game they had most of the play in their opponents half but could not find the net. From one of the opponents rare attacks they scored and held on to win the game 1-0. In the second game the girls found their shooting boots and ran out winners 8-1. In there Sunday game they lost 5-1 to end their tournament. The score line never reflected the game, they girls started well and took an early lead. The opponents then scored 2 goals to take a 2-1 half-time lead. Early in the second -half the opponents scored again 3-1 Sarah the coach then changed the formation pushing another girl up as a forward knowing they needed to score at least 2 goals to advance. The girls hit the post and had a deflection just go wide, no luck. The ref then gave a penalty for hand ball for hand ball, very harsh. They scored to make it 4-1 and kill the game off. Credit to the girls they kept playing hard until the finally whistle.
Nike U-12 Coach Steve Good
Hard weekend and went out in the semi-finals on penalties. Started Friday night in a very even game ended up losing 2-1. On Saturday had a much better game and won 2-0 to put them in the semi-finals. Sunday's semi-final was a good game dominated mostly by the girls and taking a first-half 1-0 lead. The opponents equalised with 15 minutes left to take the game into extra time. In the 5 minutes of extra time there was only one team in it as wewhere camped in their half but could not find that all important winning goal. The game ended a tie and went to penalties where the girls eventually lost the game.
