| Sutton Coldfield 8 - Belper 0
10 players turned out on Saturday to face Sutton Coldfield and they played brilliantly. Unfortunately circumstances were against as they scored twice from short corners. She who will remain nameless had a fantastic midlands debut in defence on the opposite side to fellow midlands debutant, Alex, who also played a great game. Abbi and Maddy held strong in the middle with Irene and Ellie making great headway down the flanks. Jenny and Louise did fantastic work upfront especially as neither would class themselves as forwards. Sorcha made some great saves but after 30 minutes we were 3-0 down and also down to 9 as big cry baby Harris injured her ankle just before the break. Thanks to mummy and daddy miles for looking after me and to all the others for pulling together. Due to midlands rules if we'd have forfeit at that point we could have been fined so on they played but couldn't seem to stem the flow of goals and when the point arrived where we could forfeit we were 8-0 down.
Great heart can be taken from our performance, desire and team spirit and I look forward to having a full squad and an enjoyable, if not random season ahead!!
