Quorn had a few chances at getting the equaliser, but Our goalkeeper Jodie was ready for anything that came to her and did brilliantly. Our second goal came from Tilly, with a great run through and an awesome strike! Then with a huddle around the oppositions goal, Nellie saw an opening and tapped the ball in. A great first half with lots of promising chances to come. Second Half – After a team talk and a rest, the girls were ready to get going again. Quorn came out in a very hungry and determined manner to get their score line up. There was a lot of fiery moments from both teams and some nice football being played. Mabel our Captain was frustrated with the game and really wanted her goal. In the 73rd minute she took a great strike and scored! She thoroughly deserved it! The game then seemed to get very fired up against both teams, but the girls held in well with the heads in the game and then a corner from Mabel there was a scuffle in the box and Evie managed to hit the ball in the back of the net!   Final Score – Oadby & Wigston 5 – 0 Quorn Juniors Thank you to Quorn Juniors U16 for giving us a good fight and showing us that we can play against a team the puts a lot of pressure on.
