Match Report – Opening Day Victory for U13 Vixens
Wow! What a start to the season that was. I’m sure it was a great game to watch…for the neutral! 😅 It was a brilliant contest between two determined teams, but our girls came out on top with a deserved 4–2 victory over Anstey Nomads. It was always going to be difficult with three players missing, especially when they all play in the same positional group. A massive thank you to the girls who shuffled around the formation and stepped into unfamiliar roles – you did the team proud.
In days gone by, I could imagine players losing their composure when it looked like the game might be slipping away. But today, every single one of these fantastic girls kept their heads, dug deep, and fought back to secure the win. I’m really proud of the resilience shown, and delighted they got the result they deserved.
From start to finish, I thought our girls were the better team. We spent large spells camped in the opposition half, trying to play the better football, and never settled for the draw. That determination was rewarded with three well-earned points against a side who will no doubt be challenging again this season. ⚽️💪🏻
The goals came courtesy of Sisi ⚽️⚽️ and Paris ⚽️⚽️, whose attacking quality proved too much for the opposition.
Finally, a special mention to Paris, who was rightly named Player of the Match 🏆 for an outstanding performance that drove the team forward at key moments. 👏 Well done girls – first three points in the bag and plenty more to come!
