Sunday 3rd March 2024 Today’s Game was a reversed fixture against Hinckley Borough at our home ground. In goal today we had Jodie. Defenders – Ruby, Ella, Kaylee, Hannah and Faye. Midfield – Mabel (c), Nellie, Evie B, Elise, Jess, Evie M and Ellie as our striker. First Half – After a few weeks with no fixtures, the girls were ready to get playing and got stuck straight into the game. After 8 minutes Tilly scored a cracking goal after running the line and taking a big shot. The girls battled their way up and down the pitch and played some great 1-2 passes. Hinckley took a shot which slipped out of Jodie’s hands, hit her knee and unfortunately bounced in. We got stuck straight back in and Evie B took the ball through the defence to score a goal!! The girls were playing lovely football which was great to see. Half time score…. Hinckley Borough 1 – 2 Oadby & Wigston Second Half – We made a few changes and brought Kaylee and Evie M on for Hannah and Mabel. I feel Kaylee played her best game with us today and Evie M really showed she is no longer the new girl and has adapted to the team very well with a great assist to Evie B to get the next goal just a few minutes into the second half. The battle went on and Hinckley played a lot of through balls but our defence were ready to take the challenge on every time. Evie B went on to score a third goal using her skill to get around the Hinckley defence. The whole team did their part all over the pitch and worked hard with the tasks they needed to do. Today’s game showed everyone that they play great as a team with defence making great runs back, Jodie saving some great shots and being the last defender, Midfield creating space & supporting and Ellie putting the pressure on their defence and making some great through balls. Very happy with their performance today!!! Final Score – Hinckley Borough 1 – 4 Oadby & WIgston Player of the match – This was not an easy decision as Wayne and I could have given this to many of you today but the player we chose for this award worked hard all round today with great passes, movement, support and her skill to take people on, also she scored a hat-trick. The award for player of the match goes to EVIE B!!!! you worked hard today and was great to see you work with the team. Wayne and I both had great comments about you today. Well done Evie keep up the good work. Thank you to Richard for running the line and to all our parents/supporters that came to watch us today.
