How we beat City, again:

• Watched the 4s win 7-0.
• Team talk about sensible passing and working hard.
• Went 1-0 in the first half after Izzy made a tackle, drove in to the D for Jess F to slip past the keeper.
• Great tackles from the defence to maintain the lead. MoM votes for all of the defence.
• Telling your teammates you love them when they make good tackles (Jess W to Grace and Lauren).
• Driving runs by the midfield to feed balls through to the forwards.
• Half time talk about stopping trying to play wonder balls and control the game a bit more.
• Going 2-0 up when Sam sent a long ball through a sea of players, ‘left’ by Jess F on the P spot to find unmarked Izzy on the far post to slap past the keeper.

Things to avoid next time:

• Strops that involve throwing your stick when you miss the ball - Rhiannon
• Hitting city players in the shins with your stick when you miss the ball and lose control of it - Isabelle
• Reversing the ball so high over the goal it hit the net above the fence - Isabelle
• Passing to the opposition instead of your own players - Whole team.
• Getting cross when you get your leg stuck in a stick and wiping out - Jessica F
• Picking up the ball, panicking and wiping your hand clean on other players - Sarah

PoM went to Caitlin and and Sam for good tackles and silky skills.

LoM went to Izzy and Rhi for stick incidents.
