Southgate
Thame defence - Jasmine, Ruth, Annabel & Poppy were killing it!
The match was fast paced and it was hard to get opportunities at the front to start with.
We dug in, defended well and found a way through, with great team play out to the sides from the Duracell bunnies Emma & Abigail. Great goal set up from Romy & Tilly finding Hattie who blasted in a goal and a second one soon after from a short corner. Go Hattie!!
Fantastic team work from everyone. A really exciting match.
St. Albans
This was a tough game with St Albans fielding a strong team. Thame also made some fundamental mistakes with some poor tackling and an inability to play by the 5m rule on the oppo's hit outs -areas for development?
A defensive game and the girls worked hard to keep their composure. A goal early on had us on the rails but keeper Poppy played out of her skin with several shots on goal being deflected wide.
Second half much improved. Girls pushed forward and had more possession - unlucky not to get an equaliser.
Poppy Davis just fantastic ?
Buckingham
Fantastic game from all the girls. The pressure was on the Thame girls in the first half with Poppy playing another blinder. A great run from the Romster, finds the goal and Thame are 1-0 up at half time. The Thame girls were keen for more even in the pouring rain.
Thame showed great pace and tenacity with good defence and marking. Great team work on display particularly in the last half of the second half.
Abigail has a crack at the goal and is unlucky. The girls take advantage of some openings and Romy ? keen to match Hatties goals and not be outdone ??, has a great run and its another goal.
Another stellar performance from Poppy ?
Just wonderful wee girls?, the sense of team is just brilliant and that also extends to the parents and grandparents who crawled out early on a Sunday and got soaked ?A great bunch - thanks for making it fun!!
Thanks to Mike Corby ??for supporting with team tactics and Abi Amor ⭐️for match reporting. League position pending but roll on the next round?
