Signol Athletic under 14’s girls vs Leigh Genesis match report

Leigh Genesis Phoenix under 14’s VS Signol Athletic under 14’s. Right I will hold my hands up on this one, with players missing I was expecting the worst, but the girls proved me wrong!

SO let’s start with Lily L running late due to traffic. We were looking at starting with 10 players which we did, Leigh not dropping theirs.  So 11 vs 10 game on and Leigh starting very well, testing us from the off,  but from Maddie’s through balls Lily T was causing them a lot of problems every time she had a run at them. They did score a couple of goals but Signol did not let their heads drop and playing down hill second half we knew Leigh couldn’t keep the early pace up. Just before half time Soph had a run out from defence and from good work from Chaz to get the ball back to her, Soph threaded a ball through for Lilly T to run onto slotting home.  Well 2-1 HT game on.

Defence pretty much shut them out second half and with our heads up, we equalised from another great ball through and another great run and finish from Lily T. We dipped a bit after that and was possibly settling for a draw, they then were a bit fortunate to get a third goal with a clearance taking a deflection straight to their striker 3-2 but we showed great determination as a collective and Lilly L, through full on determination, got through and equalised in off the post 3-3 WOW. Brilliant today. Good to see the strikers using Jada’s kick as a weapon in attack and the defence standing strong all the way til the final whistle. We dropped to 10 men on 2 other occasions in the match with two injuries and we dug deep and drew with a very fast team. Brilliant from all. Next 2 are winnable. Let’s have it. See you next week. a MASSIVE WELL DONE

Signol Athletic under 14’s girls vs Reddish North End match report

Reddish North End vs Signol Athletic Under 14’s cup game. Going up against a very strong, well organised, 1st division team we started well to be fair, but they were more clinical in front of goal, maybe allowing them a bit too much time on the ball at times they went 2 nil up but wouldn’t say they were amazing but the girls dug deep and from some excellent determination from Bee and great runs into the box from Lily T which maybe distracted their defenders from picking up a sneaky Emma at the back post. Great cross from Bee and a tap in for Emma great goal! Spirits high after that unfortunately we couldn’t hold out til half time and they scored their 3rd 30 seconds before the half time whistle. Second half we were stronger in the tackle and to be fair their 4th was a great strike lost 4-1 but some positives to take into our coming games.

Tough game next Saturday let’s have it 👍

Signol Athletic under 14’s girls vs Richmond Rovers match report

Richmond Rovers U14’s vs Signol Athletic U14 Girls. Right where do I start? We were away to Richmond this week. With their confidence sky high, from 3 wins in a row, they are a very solid, physically bigger team than us. They started strong too, our defence having to fend them off before we got the first goal from a free kick from Mads, which I’ve gotta say was top drawer, let Chaz in for a easy tap in game on. Then they threw everything at our midfield and defence, with one effort possibly needing VAR, thundering off Jada’s bar and not in according to the ref so play on. The girls dug deep but were unlucky to concede an equaliser, as we felt Richmond had tired a bit from their first half showing. The strikers were unlucky hitting their bar and their keeper having to tip one over, shame it wasn’t the first keeper in there as on another day it could of gone in.

Great performance showing grit and determination not to give up right til the end mint girls.
