we was robbed
Crosspool Juniors 1 - 2 Sheffield United
Crosspool started well and had early possession but failed to take advantage of some good chances, with Tyler having a good chance blocked by some good Sheffield United defending. Rebbeca almost made the possession count just before half time but a well taken shot was saved by the goalkeeper.
Crosspool started the second half as they ended the first and made the breakthrough when Yaz capped of a wonderful solo run with a great strike into the roof of the net.
Sheffield United took the game to Crosspool , taking advantage of the sloped pitch. Crosspool almost hung on after some rugged defending, however a deflected shot from just outside the area brought the equaliser.
That seemed to inspire Sheffield United and minutes later brought a good save from Bex, which was in vain as the clearance fell to Sheffield United player who floated the ball over everyone into the net.
Crosspool tried to get back into the game and had a few half chances from yaz and Alaya but just couldn’t find a way through as Crosspool fell to a harsh defeat.

4 - 2 win over Killamarsh
Crosspool U11s went to Killamarsh with a clear message that they should not expect to win easily like they did in the first game of the season. And what happened, well, 2 minutes into the game, Killamarsh were winning 1-0 as the Crosspool girls were second to the ball and a long shot caught Emma slightly out of position having just taken the goal kick.
However, this was so early in the game, that it appeared to fire up the Crosspool girls and after a few minutes they began to dominate. Jessica had too much pace for the sluggish Killamarsh defence and broke clear only to hit the side netting. Before long she was clear of the last defender again and this time she scored. 1-1.
With Lucy still ill and Fionnuala somehow lost and not yet arrived (I must buy Keith an A-Z), Ellie started at the back and had a good game making the clearance when necessary.
Angel won numerous challenges in front of Ellie and Ann Marie after a dodgy start was again commanding in central midfield. The front three of Hannah, Chelsea and Jessica were spreading the ball across the pitch and stretching the Killamarsh defence. Jessica got a second and then a good pass gave Chelsea a clear view of goal and she hammered the ball into the net.
Killamarsh had some good possession and had a girl with a very long throw in which troubled our defence. Emma came and claimed the ball a number of times from throw ins and corners to remove the danger.
3-1 at half time and Crosspool were in the driving seat. In the second half, there were a number of other chances whereby the girls failed to play the final ball to the player running free towards goal, but the crucial thing is we are getting into those positions, the final pass will soon get there.
The girls adopted the corner routine we have been practising in training. One corner from Jessica was played back out towards her and she drove it back in from the edge of the box and it went straight into the corner of the net. 4-1 and game over. Killamarsh kept going well and scored a late goal as they were allowed another free shot at goal.
Well done girls. Barugh next, then we have Wednesday twice.
