Sale United 0 Denton Town 1 (U14's)

Girls, for me, today you were amazing. Let's just look at who was missing for one reason or another - Yoyo, Megan, Chloe B, Samantha, Loz and Becks, leaving just 9 players for today's match. Make no mistake about it, regardless of who your opponents are, playing with two players short, and them having subs as well, is extremely difficult, and you came through it with all 3 points - so really, WELL DONE!
It took 49 mins for us to get our goal, nice work from Georgia in midfield, playing the ball through for Keely to run onto, and score a great goal - well deserved for a truly magnificent team performance.
A bit of sad news from today's game; Georgia has been in the wars again. Towards the end of the game, she went over on her right foot, the same one she injured back in May. Rather bravely, Georgia continued and finished the game, which must of been unbearable for her, but she is a team player, and didn't want to let you all down. If I had known it was so bad, I would of certainly taken her off. Later on, Georgia's mum, Clare, phoned me to say she had had an x-ray, but her foot was too swollen for them to say if it was broken or not. Georgia will have to go back to hospital in a weeks time, for further examination, but it looks like she may be out for some time. Hard luck Georgia, we will all miss you - again, you really put it in today, with some great footwork. I'm sure all at Denton Town U14's will join me in wishing Georgia a speedy recovery.
At the end of the match, we gave Sale's GK (1st half) m.o.m., and for us, Kayleigh who had a terrific game, as did Sally who was constantly up and down the pitch like a yoyo (no, not Yolanda lol). The ref did ok, but perhaps let one or two offsides go, when he should really have blown - for/against both teams.

NIGEL.
