Abbey Lane travelled to Woodhouse for an away match.
The wind was brutal, but that didn’t impact Abbey Lane’s commitment to wanting a result.
In defence, Isla was incredible, as always.
Isla never stopped closing down Woodhouse attacks. Always playing with intelligence to read what was coming her way and clearing it with precision. Isla was supported by Tilly and Mayzie who were equally clinical in their defensive contribution!
In defensive midfield, Emily was outstanding, and she found her place as a constant, important player for Abbey Lane, making some crucial challenges and putting her foot through so many balls to clear chances to protect her team.
Up front, Flo was amazing, a new position for her, which is so suited to such a fantastic player! She slotted in wonderfully, as if that position was always hers, and was brave with creating chances; she was dangerous on attack, with Abi, Reya and Evie H supporting her. All of them didn’t stop attacking the Woodhouse goal!
In the net, Evie B was excellent. An always constant in the Abbey Lane Team. Hardest position to play, and she makes it her own, week after week, and she commanded the goal like a pro!!
In midfield, Lacey was incredible today. Genuinely, this girl has developed so so much and is a constant battler within the team!!!
Abi started the match on the wing and made some excellent crosses, communicating where she wanted the ball to go, and was awesome on and off the ball.
But, respect to manager Steve for moving her back into defence in the second half, as that’s where Abi came into her own. Finding space, being brave, making challenges and assisting an in form Reya for a well deserved second Abbey Lane goal.
Manager/coaches POTM: Abi.
Abi played all over the field today. She continues to show her versatility and commitment to the team, wherever it is required.
Parents POTM: Flo! What a player. Brave under pressure, amazing in a new position, and just an all round baller!!
Abbey Lane U11 Girls are a special team, and they continue to display this week, on week!!
Well done girls
