What an amazing performance from the U12s for their final game of 2016. The girls arrived at Stamford Bridge in thick fog but this lifted in time for kick off to allow the girls from both teams to really light up the field with a fantastic display of football.
Stamford Bridge undefeated in the league this season started strongly and put Jess to the test in goal but she maintained her high standards in goal and saved everything that came her way but eventually a screamer managed to get past her to allow the 'Bridge' to take the league.
Deja vu though, these girls did not get their heads down and led by their brilliant captain Therese they took the game to the Bridge and a brilliant left footed cross from her was finished sensationally first time by super striker Immy.....this brought the biggest smile of the season from the coach as this is exactly what the girls had been working on in training.
It did not stop there though as super skipper then finished off some great dribbling to put the scorchers in dreamland and 2-1 to the scorchers and as promised by the coach this is where the match report ends!!!!.................
.......the game did carry on though and what a game it was with brilliant play from both teams and some superb long shooting from the Bridge girls.
Stamford showed why they are undefeated and came back with some great attacking play and manged to break down the scorchers dogged defending and go into half time ahead. So Stamford just ahead at half time 3 goals to 2.
The scorchers came out at half time after much praise at half time from their coach and told to keep doing the same as the first half and they showed their flair going forward and created plenty of chances but unfortunately didn't convert any in the second half and Stamford scored a couple of screamers that not even Jess could have kept out. All the scorchers girls played outstanding and showed how much they have improved over the season.
Alas they couldn't quite match Stamford and lost out 7 goals to 2 but the scoreline could have been oh so different but as we have said before that's football for you!
Well played to all the girls from both teams, keep playing your football with a smile and keep entertaining the crowds girls, this was a fanatastic game of football to watch today.
Hope everyone has a Happy Christmas and New Year and we shall see the Scorchers girls on the 7th January for a team photo shoot and the start of a 6 week run of games!!! (We shall get some training in after the season's fixtures are done in february! ; ) )
GO SCORCHERS!
