Midleton Ladies Football
Midleton v Rockbán U8 League
On Monday night our under 8s made the trip away to Whitechurch to play Rockban in the second game of round 2 in the league. The Home team had big numbers on the night and Midleton had 15 players so 13 a side match was played. The large home crowd, and Midleton parents were treated to a great match in perfect conditions.
Rockban started quickly and raced to an early lead and had the better of the early exchanges in the match. However this only added to the resolve of the Midleton girls and what followed was a fine example of any team above this grade or age digging deep and working hard for each other which lead to a succession of unanswered scores.
The quality of skills on display in this match really caught the eye from our goalkeeper blocks and precise kicks out, tight tackling and numerous turnovers by our defenders, ball winning and carrying at super pace by midfielders, laying off for colleagues and scoring from difficult angles by forwards often under a lot of pressure.
Overall an excellent team performance and most encouraging to see all the key skills of the game being performed to such a high standard. Keep up the good work and practise.
Thanks to all the parents for bringing the girls along to the match.Your support is invaluable and greatly appreciated.
Midleton team on the night:
Kate Saunderson, Sadhbh Cronnin, Alyx Cahill, Roisin Hayes, Ava Barry, Katie Tarrant, Kate o Sullivan, Chloe Carr, Lillie Kelly, Ciara Murphy, Lara Geary, Una Murphy, Johanna Carr, Julie Murphy, Lucy Murphy.
