Saturday 12th December

The game started at a slow tempo and it took time to settle down and start to play football.After more than 10 minutes Romany won the ball in the middle and took on two players before turning and calmly placing the ball into the corner of the net. Under some defensive pressure Becky Kersey dribbled the ball out and was surrounded by three players, with a fabulous step over took the ball around them and laid the ball off to Ellie. Just before half time we scored another well worked goal with Romany taking the corner and Becky Sarten finishing from close range. Soon after half time Ellie made two very good individual runs through midfield to score from the edge of the area. Jess had a good game at right back and linked up well with Becky Roper who held the ball up well and made some good runs down the line to pass inside for Ellie. Stacey came out of goal in the second half and scored her first goal for Larkhall with a well placed shot from close range to make it 5-1. Eva made some impressive attacks down the right wing for part of the game and Izzie provided many of the first time passes to start the moves. Emillie also had a good solid game in defence and  had a period up front supporting Romany in attack. In the final stages of the game , Romany in her first game in goal, palmed a fierce shot around the post for a corner.

Another good performance and an encouraging one in that another game has given some of the less experienced Girls a chance to gain experience and show what they have learnt in training into practice.

Our last training session of 2009 will be at Kingswood on Thursday at 6.30. We also have our last game of 2009 at the Royal High on Sunday 20th. Can we meet at 10.15 for an 11.00 KO.
