U12 Girls' A team with a wonderful win over Oxford
20 October 2019, 10:30, Headington School
U12 Girls A 6 - 1 Oxford U12 Girls
This was our first U12 match of the season with Kitty as our captain. Lisa stressed the importance of working together as a team. It was a bit of a shaky start but with some great saves from Lottie in goal and a cracking reverse strick goal by Lexie we were well on our way. After a deflection by Izzy a second goal came quickly, and we were 2 up at half time.
After an encouraging speech from Lisa where she discussed the positives and negatives of the match we started the second half full of determination and the goals came fast and furiously. A deflection from Emily and a strong slap from Lexie scored us another 2 goals and then Izzy did a sneaky push on her reverse and we were 5 goals up. We might have got too confident too quickly as the opposition scored a goal but thank goodness for Lexie scoring her hat trick and we celebrated with a 6-1 victory. I think the whole team played exceptionally well and we really enjoyed our first game.
