The U13 girls A-team travelled together to Newcastle to play our first match of the season against Dane Allen’s School. The girls were in good spirits as we won the toss and took the first centre pass.
The first half was a game of defence as Dame Allen’s started strongly and scored three goals in succession. Barney retaliated with a goal from Abigail which was passed up the pitch from the 16 yard line by our defence.
We started off the second half with determination but Dame Allen’s were ready for us. The first goal of the half was an excellent team effort passed up from Clara to Bea and onto Francesca before being finished by Eva. Dame Allen’s responded with two goals in quick succession before Barney finished up with a third and final goal of the match, again an excellent team effort swept into the backboard by Francesca.
The team played well together but needed to be more alert from the start this was shown by our strong second half.
Dame Allen’s nominated Clara as their player of the match.
