Finally - We got to start 2025.

It’s been 1 game in nearly 3 months. The team were desperate to play some ball ⚽️ Before the game, I told the team “Listen, we’re probably gonna be a little slow, little bit rusty, take your time….

Well… didn’t they show me up! Eager and sharp from the whistle!

A quick goal by Cov, put us under a little pressure. But we responded in the right way. We picked ourselves up straight away and within 10 minutes we were level…. and it was game on.
I saw some beautiful passages of play, some great passing, quality use of the wide spaces, pulling players out of position and some nice goals! The one thing that stood out for me though, was the commitment to retrieve the ball. Every time we lost possession, everyone was tracking back, either delaying the attack, putting their body (or faces) in the way of the ball and getting that ball back under our control. Then, within the blink of an eye, we were on the attack. I’m not sure where the energy levels came from (maybe trying to keep warm 🥶) but If we can see the season out with that work rate, I really don’t have any worries 💪🏻

MPOTM ⭐️ Naomi WelbourneAnother great performance from Naomi! Orchestrated most of the attacking play from the middle of the pitch. Great passing and vision! 4 assists aint a bad stat either 👏🏻

PPOTM ⭐️ Mollie RichardsonMollie had a great game yesterday, playing in 2 different positions and bossing both! 2 goals into the mix - she’s this weeks team choice 👏🏻

Just a massive thank you to all our team/player sponsors 🙏🏻 we couldn’t do this without you 💙
UP THE TOWN 💙
