Well overdue first win!!!

A sunny Sunday morning in warwick university.

Despite several of the team getting lost due to a typo error on a postcode and a crash on the motorway making others late we eventually pushed back.

The sils team dominated the play and pushed hard in the D . Great effort from some new team members Georgina Dalby and Ella Stirling who played the left side staying wide and pushing the ball in. We were unlucky not to get some of the crosses in with Frankie Pattinson and Emily tree working the post. Emily tree had a notably good game!!
Issie Thomas took some great strikes at the goal including an excellent ariel but a combination of luck and skill from the goalie prevented them going it. Well into the first half saw Issi smith battling hard in the D and then skillfully putting in an excellent ariel strike to the top left corner of the goal!!
Great celebrations followed!

The second half started with the opposition coming out strong and pushing our defence. Great play by Lauren Clarke , Georgina Smith and Tara Ackroyd made sure our defence held strong supporting our consistently strong goalie Mary Davies.
We retained a good command of the second half with the mids in particular working hard moving up and down the pitch supporting both attack and defence. Olivia Timmins played a great first half as a defender then took a change of scenery to go forward in attack, where she looked a natural!

Overall great play by everyone ensured we kept our lead and when the final whistle blew we had a first win in the bag!!

Thanks go to ever present Lisa smith who assist s with all substitutions and supports me totally!

Thanks also to the parents and partners who ensured strong vocal support from the sidelines!!

A very deserved player of the match goes to ...ISSY SMITH
