Flixton Girls 7 Denton Town 6 - under 13's

Well, what can I say? Silly little mistakes, and good finishing by them cost us. Beat them 10-0 last time, but they have improved so much, and I applaud them for that, and hopefully they can beat Deans when they play them at home.
Don't think the ref had a good game, missed an obvious back pass, let some blantant fouls pass him by, told Nat off for swearing when everyone on the touchline said it wasn't her, and played a little short in the 1st half. Gave him 6/10, and his comment as they scored their very late winner, was totally unprofessional of him. I don't think he was biased, as some bad decisions did come our way, he just had a poor game.
But don't use the ref as an excuse, Flixton really worked hard for their win today (championship challengers next year on that form), and we made some very basic mistakes, but I'm sure Alan and Tim will sort it.
Some positives from the game though.
Only 1 defeat in 9 months;
Chloe Brewer scored an hat-trick which makes it two weeks running if you include her performance for the 12's last week;
Three-nil down, most teams are dead and buried, but you pulled it back to 3-3.
Six-three down - pulled it level again, only to lose it on virtually the last kick of the match.
The season is far from over - several teams are still in the running to win the title, and we're one of the favourites.

Coming back from 3 goals behind, twice in one game, shows great strength of character, and you must use that strength to defeat the likes of Deans, Urmston and Wythenshawe Ams.
