U9s Champions
With a 3-0 win over Wickersley, the Crosspool Girls Under 9s secured the A division Championship for this season. Who would have thought, this time last season when this team’s record stood at played 11 won 1 lost 10 with a goal difference of -70, that they would so dominate the following year?
The young Wickersley players stood up well to the early Crosspool attacks and made some forward moves of their own, especially through a promising-looking new player in the No.8 shirt, and in particular the Wickersley keeper had an outstanding match, but Crosspool broke through late in the first half and went in 2-0 up, with two from Crosspool’s prolific top scorer Kira Roberts. A third goal in the second half from Evie Herbert finished things off, and Crosspool’s player of the match was Hannah Barnes.
The result gives the girls statistics of: played 12 drawn 1 lost none, goal difference +40, and puts them beyond the reach of challengers Sheffield Wednesday and Millmoor, with four matches still to play. Congratulations to all the girls, who have shown that they can cope equally well with both continuous defeats last season and repeated wins this time round, and enjoy their football throughout. Congratulations also to Team Manager James Barnes and Coach Mark Herbert, and everyone else involved with the team.
Sheffield Wednesday in the Cup on Saturday - a match to look forward to, after two very narrow wins for Crosspool over the Wednesday girls in the League.
Squad: Jeannie Banks, Hannah Barnes, Charlotte Keer, Lydia McCormac, Kira Roberts, Anna Grugel-Smith, Evie Herbert, Jessica Grant, Sophie Tomlinson, Betsy Middleton
