Langford v Toddington Rovers

Our First Match Back After Christmas And We Had Eight Girls And Langford Also Agreed To Play With Eight.We Had A Great Start With All Our Girls In A Positive Mood,They Were Passing The Ball To Each Other And Ellie Even Managed To Header The Ball,Not Once But Twice!!Holly Was Tackling Well And Had Several Runs Towards The Goal,And Chloe Got The Ball And Had A Good Run Up The Line But Unfortunately Could Not Get Close Enough To Have A Shot.Corina Was Once Again Making Some Excellent Saves,But With The Girls Playing So Well Corina Managed To Have A Breather Between Saves. Not Only Did We Get Out Of Our Own Half We Managed To Win A Corner. By Half Time The Score Was 0-0. In The Second Half All Our Girls Continued To Play Really Good Football Pheobe Got Control Of The Ball Several Times And Did Some Lovely Passes To Tori Who Was also Passing The Ball Well And Tori Was Also Tackling Well And She Was A Good Captain. Millie Was Defending Well,She Was Stopping The Langford Girls Well And Emilia Was Also A Great Defender They Both Seemed To Be Hungry For The Ball. With Five Minutes To Go We Conceeded A Goal,But That Did Not Stop The Girls From Trying And In The Last Seconds Of The Game We Had A Shot At Goal And Nearly Scored! I Feel This Was By Far Our Best Game To Date, It Was A Joy To Watch And I Hope The Girls Continue To Strive And Play As Well As They Did Today. Great Job
