REPORT: 
City started well, passing the ball around with good pace and accuracy. With only one actual defender available we switched our formation and played with just two at the back. It seemed to work well with Lucy Stafford winning player of the match at the back. Sophie Evans made some great clearances to the sides and came out and took on some attackers one on one. We had great strength across the midfield with Laila distributing the ball well, Phoebe showing great strength with her passing and really taking time to look at where players were. Lola’s workrate was phenomenal and she did some great attacking runs and crosses into the shooting circle. Chloe held the centre midfield well, tackling, working so hard and passing the ball out to the sides for some great 2v1s. Captain Susannah tackled well and drove forwards as an inner and her Mum Mary joined us for the game and played out on the wing. Sophie B looked up well to make some great passes forwards as the other inner. Our forward line of Niamh, Megan and Amber had some awesome attacks, eliminating players and getting some great shots away. Amber’s confidence and power has grown rapidly over the past month or so which is great to see. Also big thanks to senior player Summer who came along and played at the back alongside our pocket rocket Lucy to support and coach the girls from the pitch.  
It was a very even game with Niamh scoring our only goal.  
The team are growing and developing every week and it’s great to see. They take on North Norfolk away at Sheringham High School this week, 5pm start.

REPORT: 
The Women’s dev team had their first fixture away at Dereham in what was a first 11 a side full pitch game for some and their first game for NCHC for others. The team were very kindly looked after by El Jarvis who did a fantastic job! 
 
Experienced dev team player Chloe dominated the midfield, working hard to track back and defend as well as being a crucial part of the attacking force. Lola, in her first game for City showed fantastic fitness levels and an gave us an awesome display in work-rate and enthusiasm, scoring two goals on her debut with the first one being brilliant! 
 
With U12 GK Sophie at the back, the girls felt confident and Sophie was solid and reliable. She made some great first touch clearances and overall made lots of great saves. Sophie had a great team of Millie (also U12), Alice and Mary in front of her and the three of them made numerous strong tackles to then clear the ball out. Alice communicated well with the midfield, asking for support when needed. 
 
With Millie E, Amber and Sophie B across the attack along with Lola, there was some brilliant passing and movement off the ball. Phoebe (in her first full pitch game) worked tirelessly and showed great confidence with her passing. Laila (debut for City!) played well in the midfield, tackling well and working hard.  
 
The girls were supported by Susan (womens player) who played alongside them to help with positioning and coaching on the pitch and was positive and helpful throughout the game. 
 
Thanks to Dereham HC for the fixture, thanks to all of our parents who came to support and thanks to the umpires for their time. 
 
A very proud coach! Emma
