Firehawks v Frinton & Firehawks v Forest Glade

Firehawks v Frinton
Maddison 2
The Firehawks were on on top for much of this game. Sierra was playing the holding role, she was winning the ball and had the confidence and skill to work the ball out of defence before setting up attacks. Freya playing her first game made a number of good runs and was unlucky not to score on a couple of occasions. Abbie was using her strength on the ball to move forward. Aurora in goal dealt with anything that got into our box. Lola was running well with the ball and linking with the other girls. Despite having most of the possession, Firehawks found it difficult to get shots on target and it was 2 goals from Maddison 1 in each half that sealed the win for Firehawks.

Firehawks v Forest Glade
In the first half Firehawks could not get their game going playing against a strong wind. Forest Glade had most of the territorial advantage and despite some good saves by Aurora scored 4 first half goals.
In the second half the tables were turned, Firehawks playing with the wind had most of the play. Sierra was again showing poise on the ball. But creating clear cut chances was hard and Abbie, Lola, Freya and Maddison saw shots going just wide or saved by the goalie. Aurora smothered the ball a couple of times but for most part of the half it was Firehawks on the attack but they could not find the net.

All the girls played exceptionally well, Sierra was Player of the match, showing good skill on the ball and retaining possession for the Firehawks.
