girls u12s blown out of the cup

There was no reason to lose this match. Wickersley are 10 points below us in the league and we have beaten them 3-1 and 4-1 before drawing 0-0 last week. I didn't see the first 10 minutes, but when I got there to find Crosspool losing 1-0, I expected the Crosspool girls to be fired up and pushing for the equaliser, they weren't. It was cold and windy, but that's the same for both teams. All I can say is that Wickersly were more determined; they chased every ball, went for 50/50 balls as if they would win them, challenged players with the ball and put pressure on. Some Crosspool players had moments of skill, some runs with good passing,each one showing that they have the skills to play much better football, if only they would believe it. When this team play at their best, Wickersley would be no match for them, yesterday, they deserved the win.
