REPORT: 
 
On a blustery morning, our 3rds started strongly against Dragons 3’s, playing the ball around with confidence and creating chances, but unfortunately we could not take the advantage. On one of their first breaks, Dragons took the lead from a goal line scramble, before adding to their total from a quick break. City heads did not drop, despite losing our skipper from the field due to an injury, and Harriet’s determination paid off as she pressed and won the ball back setting up Anna for a composed finish. In the second half, Dragons extended their lead from a questionable short corner, which fired City up further. Jo was on fire in goal, quickly coming off her line to shut down any further opportunities. Some superb work on the left from Jen and a pinpoint ball from Lotte created a well deserved deflection for Harriet. City continued to apply the pressure, winning short corners until the end, but unfortunately we could not find the equaliser. Final score 2-3.

REPORT:It was a tough game yesterday at home against a strong Loddon 1s side. From the beginning we matched their intensity. We fought hard, goals coming from Hollie, Mollae, and Helen, each finishing with composure after excellent build-up play through midfield. The link-up passing created chances throughout the match, another 10 minutes and a draw was definitely achievable. Loddon are known for being both physical and well-drilled and they lived up to that reputation. Our defence faced constant pressure from their main striker, but we stayed composed, making tackles and interceptions to keep us in the game. Our midfield worked to close down space, and our forwards didn’t stop putting on pressure until the end. 
Even though the result didn’t go our way, our teamwork and positive energy were clear for everyone watching.  
There are lots of positives to carry into next week and for our next Loddon fixture, our resilience and determination showing, a great start to this season. Well done everyone 💛💚

What a start to the season! The dream team was out and in Helen’s words “playing like we were in a cup final”! We started as we meant to go on, creating lots of brilliant chances (including a fairly clear goal…) and dominated possession all the way through the first half. A brilliant goal came from a lovely build up from the whole team and was very very well deserved to end the first half with spirits high. Fuelled on some super tasty oranges we didn’t drop the intensity at all in the second half and got the goal to show for it, bringing the score to 2-0. A strong fight to the end kept their goals out and we secured an amazing win - well done everyone and let’s keep the undefeated streak going!
