Under 12 Performance vs Montpelier Villa Galaxy Girls

JPL Warriors U13 Green Division

Today our U12 Performance team kicked off the new year in style with a commanding 3-0 victory over Montpelier Villa Galaxy Girls. It was a fantastic all-round display against an opposition that had previously beaten us earlier in the season, showing just how much this group has progressed.

From the very first whistle, the girls dominated possession and showcased some exceptional phases of passing football. To a player, they hassled and pressed the opposition for the full 80 minutes, creating numerous chances through their relentless work rate. The midfield four were particularly tireless, winning back possession instantly before playing slick, one- and two-touch passes to ignite our attacks.

The defence remained calm and assured throughout the morning, rarely giving the visitors a sight of goal. On the one occasion the opposition did break through, our GK was equal to the challenge, pulling off a fantastic close-range save to ensure the team kept a well-deserved clean sheet.

Whilst the 3-0 scoreline was impressive, it could have been even higher had we been slightly more clinical with the many opportunities created.

Selecting a Player of the Match was a near-impossible task given the high level of every individual performance. However, the award this week goes to Isla S. Isla displayed some incredibly aggressive attacking wingback play, driving forward at every opportunity to take the game to the opposition while never neglecting her defensive duties. Her energy levels didn't dip for the entire match, making her a worthy recipient of the trophy.
