On Monday night the U14 Girls came up against Sussex Inlet in the late game. Some solid performances of late meant the girls were excited for a good game against many of their school friends.

We started well with Saige again being a handful down the right and through the middle and was unlucky to not have us ahead early. Paige put on some great passes to open up their defence but Sussex held firm. Sophie was our cleaning up machine, snuffing out any hint of their attack. Elsie ran herself into the ground, as did Kaitlyn K. Unfortunately we went a goal down about 10 minutes before half time with an unlucky deflection that kept their striker on side. She finished well, low to the right.

In the second half we pressed hard but to no avail. The defence of Lily B, Chelsea ( despite hobbling), Claire and Grace kept any Sussex attacks out, and Lily T was very solid in goal with no errors all game. Emily, Elle and Sienna continued to run and press despite the solid efforts of the Sussex defence. It is only a matter of time before we crack a defence open!

In all it finished 1-0 to Sussex Inlet. However, at the rate our girls are improving each week Sussex will have their work cut out for them next time around!

Big thank you to Grace for stepping in to help give the girls a rest! You are always an asset and we love watching you step up!
