Girls U16’s
Slazenger girls u16’s attended their 2nd tournament of the season this weekend.
Their first game against Ben Rhydding B was a game of 2 halves. In the first, Slaz were constantly under pressure from a sustained Ben Rhydding attack – Ben Rhydding scoring 3 in succession. Slaz were able to pull one back with some excellent individual play from Emily Hunter. The second half saw Slaz regroup and come out fighting. Charlotte Thompson made her debute for the team playing in goal, prevented Ben Rhydding from adding to their tally, but as the Ben Rhydding defence also stayed strong the full time score was also 3:1
Their second game against Wakefield 3’s was evenly matched throughout, with some excellent play from both teams. Slaz took the lead with a brilliant build up from the midfield leading to a great strike from birthday girl Gabby Giggal. Wakefield were quick to equalise and the half time score was 1:1. The second half saw Slaz attack from the off and after a number of missed chances a fantastic short corner routine saw Abigail Collins net the second for a Slaz. Full time score 2:1.
