There is no game this Saturday (20th March) against Greenleas Celtic as
they have to play
their Cup game instead - it is to be played on Saturday 27th March at
home 9.30KO
MATCH REPORT:
Ellesmere Port U16s 7 v Waverton U16s 2 on Saturday 13th March 2010
Without doubt the best performance of the season - I know I have said
that in recent games but this one tops the lot! Yes I know we lost 7-2
but sometimes it's all about how you lose....
The first five minutes saw a lot of Waverton pressure but again we were
caught on the break with Ellesmere Port opening the scoring against the
run of play which was soon increased to 3-0. A period of nice passing
interplay from the Waverton girls showed that they had not given up and
were unlucky not to score. There was a lovely piece of silky fotwork
from Kimmie on the wing, beating a player with a shimmy and a feint
before releasing the ball down the wing to give us another opportunity
to score. Unfortunately that was the last we saw of Kimmie's silky
skills as she had to come off with a blistered ankel and damaged thumb.
A great save from Mel in goal gave us hope until Ellesmere Port rattled
in another three to make it 6-0 at half time to the home side.
Following a Morinhio like team talk by Robbie at half time the girls
played some of the best football of the season. The crowd by now had
swelled to a record nine for the travelling Waverton girls for this
local derby and some of the football now being played really got the
away fans going, getting right behind the girls. Some lovely passing
football ended with Ellen shooting low and hard into the bottom left
hand corner for her debut goal to make it 6-1. The fightback had begun!
The Ellesmere Port girls could not get out of their own half as wave
after wave of Waverton pressure continued on their goal, with a great
effort from Ashley "Tosh" Johnson just going wide - Tosh was on fire in
the second half chasing after everything.
Then the well deserved second goal came when great persistance from
Ellen just outside their penalty box carved a chance for Tosh who put it
away clinically. The score was now 6-2 or should I say 2-0 as the away
fans were chanting "We want three!"
Another goal came right at the end but unfortunately it was for
Ellesmere Port! The final score was 7-2 to the home team but as we told
the girls after the game, we won the second half 2-1; a first for the
girls and a great achievement by them all.
Well done to all the girls - we have had a second half victory the full
game one is just around the corner!!
