Caerphilly Castle Girls U9s v AFC Whitchurch

SWWGL U9s West (Non Competitive)

The final game of the day, and the girls were determined to try and keep the winning run going against a team who narrowly beat us in our last meeting two weeks ago.

Scarlett back in the sticks was kept busy in the opening exchanges, though some good defending by Heidi and Lundun kept Whitchurch’s chances to a few.

It proved once again to be a very close faught affair.  Grace once again got on the scoresheet to put Caerphilly ahead.  Not to be outdone though, Whitchurch managed a quick response, and when Lundun lad to leave the pitch having taken a knock, Caerphilly were down to 5 players, and soon found themselves 2-1 behind.

The girls on the pitch kept working hard, with Ava, and Tayla making some great tackles and interceptions, and Heidi playing sweeper in defence making sure Fairwater had no time on the ball in attack.

When Lundun returned on the pitch, Caerphilly found another head of steam, and goals from Tayla, and a really well taken goal from Lundun put Caerphilly back ahead.

Whitchurch pushed forward looking for an equaliser, though when the ball fell to Tayla in space up front, there was only ever going to be one outcome.  She finished well, and gave Caerphilly as little cushion with a two goal lead.

With Stoic defending, and possible the best move of the match when Avan played the ball wide to Lundun, who passed inside to Talya, who then fed through for Grace who just put the ball over, Caerphilly were rarely troubled again, and the game finished with a third successive win for the Castle.
