Under 13’s vs Bayside 13’s

Saturday 2nd May saw Strollers Girls Under 13’s take on Bayside 13’s at Overstenton for the second time this season – with Strollers having narrowly lost the last game between the two in the Lisa Evans League Cup just last month.

This league game started at a fast pace from the first whistle, and there wasn’t much let up for most of the game.  Not for the first time this season, our girls demonstrated great team work and desire throughout the match with our midfield of Brodie Clark, Denver Hopkins, Shannon Reekie and Rachel Lee all working extremely hard to try and break down a resolute Bayside team.

Captain, Denver Hopkins, showed great encouragement and positive talking to her team mates on the day, and forward, Kerys Blythe, had a number of good shots on goal – being very unlucky on a couple of occasions.

As expected, Bayside tested our defence all day but Emma Swanson, Courtney Porter and Ynes Kerr all worked well together for most of the match and stayed strong.  In goals, Theo Mitchell played her first full competitive game and did well.

Despite all of Strollers hard work, Bayside went on to win the game for the second time this season with a full time score of 0-3.  The visitors congratulated our girls at the end of the game for the great team work and hard work they had put in.
