The less said about the incidents before the match the better. The pitch was very heavy, but in my opinion, and that of Alan, Tim and the ref, playable. Sandra from Wythenshawe is entitled to say what she said, and I applaud her for wanting to protect her girls, but at the end of the day, I've seen junior matches played on worse pitches, without complaint.
Anyway, I thought the heavy pitch suited them more than us, as it slowed down our usual fast game, and the 25 mins each way (should be 35), certainly kept the score down. Sandra was delighted with the result, and I offered her support by saying that her team had really improved since the start of the season, and wished her well in their future games.
Our player of the match was Yolanda, and for them, we gave it to one of the identical twins, number 14, though her sister number 15 also played very well. The scorers were: -
12 mins 1-0 Yoyo
15 mins 2-0 Chloe B
24 mins 3-0 own goal
Half-time 3-0
30 mins 4-0 Sam
36 mins 5-0 Lauren
42 mins 6-0 Kayleigh (Pen)
50 mins 7-0 Yoyo
So, well done today girls, for working hard in difficult conditions. Enjoy the Derby next Saturday - well City fans anyway.
