Woodbank Athletic U11's vs Broadheath

The girls won’t remember the comeback by Man Utd in 1999 Champions League Final, but they might remember Liverpool’s comeback from 0-3 down at half time in the 2005 final. However, this was better than both!

Although we had more possession and this led to more attempts on goal, we found ourselves losing 0-3 at half time. They were good finishes that didn’t leave Rebecca any chance of saving them. We tested their keeper, especially Emily, time after time and she kept making really good saves.

In the second half Carly volunteered to go in goal. We started well and it wasn’t long before Isa scored her first goal of the season when she followed in a shot by Emily. Emily managed to then score two goals herself and we were level. Carly made some great saves that kept us in the game and it really was end to end action. Emily had more chances, and Anna and Isa seemed to get in each other’s way when a goal looked a certainty.

The final score was 3-3. All the girls deserve praise for their efforts, and they were all exhausted at the final whistle. The opposition gave the player of the match to Shauna, with our own award going to Emily.
