A nice morning at Mellor on the 29th January 2023.
🥍🥍The U13s sponsored by Deans Court Chambers were supported by Eve, Phoebe, Georgia and Iris from the U11s. The Blue battlers came flying out of the trap and caught Mellor off guard. Before we knew it we were 5-0 up with Carys having a direct run on goal. This early strong start gave Rosie confidence to try repositioning some players.
Sienna stood strong in the nest and chalked up 4 saves in the first quarter while Mellor struggled to stop Carys as she grabbed 5, Isla popped one in and Phoebe kept up the Livesey tradition by blasting one in the top of the net. Quarter 1 score was 7-0 to Stockport.
Quarter started much the same way as Q1 with Mellor struggling to contain the blue advance. Carys racked up two more and Grace got in on the action with a brace and demonstrated how to shoot hard and fast on the run. Georgia also got in the scoresheet after a nifty little tuck 'n' roll got here facing the goalie one-on-one. Sienna saved two more Mellor attacks but one eventually got passed her. Effy (2 goals in the quarter) got the best goal of the game to finalise a great passing move with Grace dishing the ball to Amber at goal line extended who then fed Effy cutting nicely towards the crease - excellent to watch. Keep your eyes on Amber as that lefty feeder. Quarter 2 score 7-1 to Stockport,
The third quarter saw Stockport changing up their tactics and practising to move the ball round the goal. Mellor upped their game and started to get back into it. Sienna continued to see beachballs and made two more great saves but Mellor's shooting was improving and two more snuck passed our keeper.
Amber got on the scoresheet after her signature spin dodge and Iris, fastest girl in Stockport, used her speed to create an opening that she converted. Effy netted her third and that brought the third quarter to a close and a lot closer than the others. Quarter score 4-2 to Stockport.
Mellor got into fourth gear for the last quarter and started to notch up a few goals. They were determined to balance the scoreline, somewhat. The home team ran out winners in the fourth quarter 3-1 taking the game total to Mellor 6 - 19 Stockport.
The team looked strong from the start and showed great skill in moving the ball for periods of the game. All girls put in 100% all game with Millie S playing solid defence along with Molly and Aimee. Lily and Naomi showed grit and determination and battled all game. Eve must have covered 10 miles with the amount she ran and Jaya linked in at the back to protect Sienna.
All round an excellent game! Great to have 8 names on the scoresheet and a number of these were assisted. The team is looking better each game and we can all see the development in all players.
In two weeks we have the cup game against Brooklands. It would be great to get off to the same start that we did in this game. 🥍🥍
