Arsenal 5 - 1 Team Glory (Inter Milan)
These Platinum boys can score from all sorts of angles... hopefully the girls will take note...
First half has a struggle, some great defensive efforts but difficult to get the ball through the mid field and into Arsenals half. Still need work on clearing the ball from the goal area and shifting it up field. Good effort though faced with a tough opposition.
The Second half was a different story, much more attacking opportunities with Sophie, Gemma and Kate playing key roles in attack. Near misses by both Sophie and Gemma, while Kate managed to find the target with what is becoming her signature shot from distance.
Emma and Rachael kept it solid at the back with notable assistance from Emily and Kate, constantly putting Arsenal under pressure on attack forcing many mistakes resulting in goal kicks rather than goals.
Player of the Day went to Rachael for a strong and committed performance in Defense and some great work on the ball to clear it up the wings.
13B 9.15 am Juventus (Team Pheonix) vs Leicester (7th B)
Team Pheonix 3 - 0 Leicester
Team Phoenix playing as Juventus in the 8th Gold Grade once again faced a 7th Grade Boys team Leicester.
After last week’s disappointing first half the girls played their first half this week with much more team work. One of the features of our girls playing the junior grade is that strange feature that when the opposition starts to play as a bunch, our girls tend to mirror this. However when Phoenix started to spread across the field and string passes together, the goals started to appear.
The Perry girls both Sabine and Alisha had brilliant games, assisted ably through the midfield by Lucy and Caitlin. As soon as Alisha got the ball she was around the Leicester defenders and goal-bound.
Player of the Day: Alisha for goals, energy and commitment.
