Under 13’s vs Letham Tangie Juniors

What a morning at Overstenton on Saturday. Rain, rain, rain and more rain.

In what was maybe the wettest game we have ever played the under 13’s took on Letham Tangie Juniors at Overstenton park.

The first half saw some great end to end football, wit the girls working hard in the never ending rain. Courtney Porter, Rachel Lee and Ynes Kerr worked well together keeping Letham at bay.

Kerys Blyth scored the opening goal for Strollers after good old fashioned scramble of bodies in the box.  Soon after, Strollers had several goal attempts but were unable to take advantage, with Shannon Reekie showing great power in her striking at times.

Half time: 1-0

The Strollers went into the second half with an increase in pace and purpose and kept Letham Tangie Juniors in their own half for almost all of the second half.

Letham put up a good challenge and Strollers had to play some good football to compete, which finally led to Brodie Clark getting the second goal, with Rachel Lee going on to get Stroller’s third. After a foul on Betheney Scott, she used her power to take a sublime free kick which ended up in the back of the net. A fantastic goal to make it 4-0.

Kerys Blyth attempted a header but it was just off target, but it wasn’t long until she fired home the fifth of the game. With some movement in positions and players giving different positions a try, this allowed Denver Hopkins to drive a ball through the middle of the defence and get the sixth goal of the game.  Strollers were so dominant in the second half that their ‘keeper, Daniela Florez, never had a save to make.

Final score: Strollers 6 Letham 0

The girls were all soaked through come the end of the match, but still smiling!  Well done to you all for a great performance.
