PLAYER SHOUT-OUTS
We're light on match reports this week - please remember to keep sending in your POTMs so we can publicly praise all our amazing goals!
Saturday Clubs Utd (27 July)
Despite a 9am Saturday morning kick off, FCGD brought the energy and vibes! The other team were relentless, genuinely don’t remember how many goals they scored but it didn’t matter because we kept digging and eventually scored THREE top notch goals all in the final five minutes. Scotty scored from Maeve’s amaeving corner, then Scotty assisted Brooke's stunning left hand corner goal, then the final goal came from Scotty with a Maz assist. Jay very deservingly won POTM from Hells Bells and I gave ours to both Maeve and Scotty for giving everything!
Monday Chobham (29 July)
What a time to be boiling alive at Chobham! Most players played the whole 40 min match, and the energy never dropped for a single second
Whippets made us work hard for the win, but in the end we secured a solid 6-1 victory, with goals from Izzy C, Izzy F, Ramune and Ellie
Maike and Ellie played an absolutely ruthless defence, they never let up for a second, Izzy C's speed upfront was like nothing you've ever seen, overall we had over 20 shots on goal!
Captains POTM goes to Ramune, not only were they always creating space, they took a penalty when the rest of us were too scared to (lol) and smashd it into the back of the net
They also then stepped up to the plate when Rachel quite literally put her body on the line to stop a powerful shot and played a blinder in goal. They are the absolute definition of an all rounder
Arguably one of, if not the best match, we've ever played, against a very fierce competitor!
