It was a tough match today against The Gryphon's first team but the girls put up a good fight. Before the game, we talked about being calm and not rushing our passes however, we struggled to execute this tactic! We gave away the ball regularly with hasty and inaccurate passes but this was largely due to the pressure we were under from their players. They had a couple of very strong players so we struggled to create scoring opportunities in attack and to keep the ball out of their attacking circle. Their shooters were consistently accurate and after the first third, they were 8-0 up. The second quarter was much more positive, we drew 2-2 but they ran away with the game in the third quarter to cement their lead. We have made huge progress but it was a tall order today against far more accomplished opposition.
