Man United 1 - Team Glory 3
The tournament last week must have helped the team, the structure and passing was great. Some great clearances from defense, through midfield helped create lots of opportunities for goals. Sophie started the scoring with Annika and Claudia both coming in from the wings to add to the impressive score line. A solid midfield and flawless defense kept the boys away from the goal. Their one goal was from a corner kick finished with a great header.. always good to see at this level...
Player of the Day went to Sophie, for opening the scoring and holding her position well as striker being there when the ball came through from the wings and midfield.
Great to get Glory's first win in Platinum....
10c 9.15 am Team Pheonix (Juventus) vs Wigan
Team Pheonix 3 - Wigan 2
The weather had made the ground somewhat challenging especially in that far corner of Keith Hay Park. At 9.15am we were waiting around and thinking that the Wigan boys might have got scared off by playing the mighty Phoenix … but they were just late – presumably getting in a little last minute practise. It turned out that we could get a more even match (7 v 7) by lending them a couple of our players, so with the epitome of sportspersonship Caitlin and Alisha volunteered to help out. This could have been quite damaging for Team Phoenix because they were two of the better players for Wigan!!
As Iain reports for the Glory team, our recent tournament practise had geared us up well for better positional play and team structure. When the girls got passes strung together and crosses into the centre forward striker, we were “on fire”.
Our goals came from Lucy (well done for what I think is your first goal of the season), Sarah, and unfortunately for Wigan - an own goal. There was even a goal from Caitlin (for Wigan) which came from some good interchanges. Final score 3 – 2 (we might even take Caitlin’s goal in account and say Phoenix girls scored 4 goals during the match!)
Player of the Day for Lucy – good team contribution and for the goal (icing on the cake!)
