REPORT: 
The Mighty 3’s had a tough match against a well drilled and skillfull UEA 1st team yesterday. We started the match brightly, matching our opposition and keeping the defensive door firmly closed, however we found it hard to get the ball out of our half and the pressure was relentless. Jo made some brilliant reaction saves and we successfully defended several short corners and were pleased to find ourselves 1-0 down at half time. The youthful opposition came out strongly in the second half scoring almost immediately on the break. Despite some brilliant defending, we were overrun with UEA always seeming to have an extra player and their goals continued to come. The turn of pace of Helen, the silky skills of Chloe J and the heroics in midfield from Katy gave us glimmers of hope but in the end the opposition were too strong. Final score 0-5… bruised and broken, and a green card in the bag, we came off with our heads held high! Well done team x

REPORT: 
The match started with the team against the sun, and the starting play. The team were on the ball from the beginning, making the ball to the do the work and fighting well under the opposition’s pressure. A few minor slip ups saw the beginning of a very defensive stint resulting in 5 defensive short corners, and a lot of shuttle runs from the midfield. The defensive held well until the opposition snuck the ball into the back of the net. The team ploughed on despite the knock, evenly distributing the ball around the pitch with chins held high.  
 
We entered half-time 0-1 down, but morale was high. With some sweets to fuel us back up we were back on the pitch and ready to go with no mercy to give. The attack in us was raring, with a few passes around the back we were distributing the ball left, right and centre with little room for error. With a few shots on goal we were in a winning mindset, goal hungry. Winning a few attacking shorts, kept us in the opponent’s half and the pressure back on them. A last minute short as the final play saw the whole team up ready to score a draw, only stopped by a strong defence.  
 
Overall an excellent performance, and well executed defensive skills from trainings
