The Girls 1st XI have worked hard this term, in both training and matches, and this has shown through the immense improvement from everyone throughout. Targeting the basics in training enabled the girls to play an attractive style of football during fixtures, with some great chances created from the team working well together. The season started with a game away to a physical Gresham's side, that was tightly contested. Unfortunately, with a few key chances missed, the score ended 2-0 to them. Next up was Wymondham at home. A goal from Poppy Francis sent us into the last 10 at 1-1. The girls managed to score a second, but this was ruled offside. With Wymondham somehow sneaking in a winner in the closing minutes, the game concluded at 2-1 to them. On the return leg at their place the following week, the girls fought well on a difficult pitch, but were unlucky and lost 2-0, despite playing the better football. A special mention must go to India Coupland who stepped up as goalkeeper, playing against girls 4 years her senior, and held her own. The final game of the season was played at home against a mixed side from St Felix, with arguably the best performance of the season from the team. It was an exciting game from start to finish, and despite good pressure on the St Felix defence towards the end, the girls were unable to find an equaliser, with the game ending 3-2. Goals from Chloe Holmes and Lizzie Henson. Despite not getting the results the team deserved, they should be very proud of themselves and their performances. Hopefully this season has provided useful foundations for the Lower 6 and Upper 5 to build on for next year. Lizzie Henson (U6V) 1st XI Captain
