U16 Girls - what's the unluckiest number in the world?


Yes you guessed it - its 13 which unfortunately was the final score in a disturbing match against Weymouth on 17 Jan.


Right from the start it looked like we were in for a stuffing as the 'will to win' had taken a holiday and left us flat and in need of something that we couldn't conjure up.


As is so often the case the second half was much better than the first but when you're 10 -0 down at half time its pretty difficult to recover and such was the case on this day. There were some good individual perfromances and it was encourgaing to see some of the team battling on to the bitter end.


Lydi picked up this weeks MVP again not only for being one of the busiest players on the pitch (pulling the ball out of the net) but also by putting her training to excellent use in preventing even more being scored against us!


We have another fixture (away to Weymouth FC) and this time we will have a full squad with everyone in their normal positions which, I hope, will be enough to make a difference and result in a more acceptable score line!
