Coton U13 Girls vs Rushden & Diamonds, R&D FC (League)

Coton, sporting a smaller squad, thanks to a bout of Coton calamities.. including an unfortunate incident with a dodgeball, travelled to Wellingborough to welcome Rushden & Diamonds as the newcomers to the league. Playing on a rather small 9 v 9 pitch, both teams suffered from the compressed play, with space a rare commodity. Coton started well, battling all over the pitch, but struggled to break the R&D Keep. A snap shot on target from India and soaring shot from Julie were our closest chances early on. As the match wore on, the wind picked up in strength, catching through-balls and peppering Cha in goals with bouncing long balls to pluck out of the air. Cha, donning the captaincy for a second week, put in a dominant display, both snaffling the high balls and distributing fluently, putting Coton on the front foot. Meanwhile India ruled the right, turning R&D’s left wing and beating their left back time and time again.

The wind strengthened into the second half. Our Girls adapted, playing less of the through-ball and more 1-2’s, attacking the bounce of the ball, and scrapping for space. Mads, Shannon and Ellen all caused mayhem as they dominated the midfield and pinned R&D into their own half, only allowing them to escape into Coton’s half a handful of times. Frosso put in a solid stint down the left, as did Pauline and Sheyma, all trying to create an opportunity for a score. Emilia, rightly deserving of the R&D’s player of the match streaked down the right again and again, trying to catch the bounce and convert. Mads was inches from snaffling a cross from Julie, and Shannon edged a curling ball just outside the top corner. Alas, never have the goals felt so small. Despite being the dominant team of the half, the decisive goal never came. Thanks must go to Simon and Darren for running the lines, and R&D for accommodating our ever-dwindling squad as it neared match time. Well battled Girls.

Final whistle: 0-0

Coton U13 Girls vs St Ives, Coton Rec (League)

With last week’s learnings still raw, our Girls were determined to start the match with intensity and purpose. Perhaps the pendulum swung a little too far in the other direction as we tried to do a little too much for the first few minutes. The calming foot of Ellen slowed the pace as she paused the attack, playing laterally to find Frosso on the edge of the box. A deft one touch pass in behind the St Ives defense allowed Madds to strike first blood with a well positioned belter to the right of the Keep. Minutes later, after a commanding midfield spell, Madds struck again, tucking another top-drawer goal past the Keep. Despite the score line, St Ives were putting forward a physical display, winning the 50:50s and snaffling the bounce. Lia, really warming into her centre back role, put a long drive over the midfield to put India on the charge. Direct and determined are understatements for her blistering run and polished finish to bring Coton 3 clear as we went into half time.

St Ives, showing real pace down the left, were kept in check by a combination of Bam and India’s relentless defense, turning each defensive clash into an opportunity for Coton to attack. St Ives adapted, attacking more centrally, only to come across Tesni covering ground with speed and laying down a blockade, winning the half-chances and getting her foot in. Down the left, St Ives had little respite with Matilda covering off right back, frustrating her opponent into a premature substitution. Some lovely intelligent defense! Emilia used her blistering pace well to get forward and whip in some dangerous crosses. Some scrappy play and a great finish allowed St Ives to claw one back. Charging off her line to attack oncoming balls, and treating the spectators to a Cha stunner that sailed far over half way to reach the opposition box, Captain Char turned up the intensity, keeping the pressure on St Ives. The game came to an end, patchy for the most part, but solidifying some key combinations and positions, laying the foundations for the season ahead. Well battled Girls.⚽️👍 ... See MoreSee Less

Coton U13 vs PSG Blacks, Herbert’s Farm (League)

A cooling Sun and crisp breeze welcomed the long-awaited start to the 2022/23 Season. Today was the first step of transitioning the fluid, fast paced 9 v 9 style to the new, more expansive 11-a-side pitch and 11-a-side formations.

The game started slow, with Girls from both teams struggling to find their shape, often crowding the ball, and showing obvious frustration. There was a clear tension between the desire to play fluid and expansive football and how to crowbar this into the new format, with neither team securing their first touches nor taking control of the match early on. Winning a corner after a sustained attack, Madds curled the ball into the near post, finding a fortunate glance off a defender to bring up Coton’s first of the season! Rallying the team somewhat, Coton went on the offensive. Exploiting a quick throw-in, Ellen found India, then received Indy’s pinpoint back pass, allowing Ellen to put a curling drive over the defenders and pick out Julie. Receiving the ball on the turn, Julie put in a low powerful shot which scooted past the PSG Keep, bringing up Coton’s second.

Shortly into the second half, a lapse in concentration and some wayward passing in the box gifted PSG a prime shooting opportunity, which they executed perfectly, piercing the bottom left corner to shorten the score to 2-1. Rattled, Coton responded by pressing high and attacking the PSG goal, stringing together 25 consecutive passes at one point. Although clearly settling into a new format, with combination play not where they would like, each and every player rolled up their sleeves and showed real grit to move the game forward. Lia in Centre Back, supported by partners in crime, Bam, Emilia and Matilda, limited PSGs opportunities as they sought to counter.. giving Cha very little to do in goal for most of the match. Ellen, Tesni, Madds and Shannon filled midfield, diffusing PSG attacks and working hard on the ball to launch offensives. Katty found her niche in the defensive midfield position, tackling and turning play time and time again. India, Emilia and Frosso exploited their width and speed down the wings to work the ball forwards. Matilda and Amandine working with Julie up front drew in defenders to create space. After the Girls hitting both uprights and a crossbar, coupled with a few near misses, Emilia struck home after getting on the end of a precisely weighted through-ball from Shannon to seal off the match at 3-1 with only minutes to play.

A sigh of relieve, rather than shouts of jubilation followed the final whistle. Difficult to watch for the most part, it was a great game to come away from on top, with many learnings to take from it going forwards. Thanks to PSG for hosting and to the parents for their enduring support. Well battled Girls!

Final Whistle: 3-1⚽️👍 ... See MoreSee Less

Ely U10 v Coton U10
Sat 17th Sept 2022

Congratulations to a flying start in the Fenland winds of Ely!

Captain Izzy won the toss for a Coton kick off. The first quarter showed great composure from the team, with intelligent positioning and pressure on the ball to break up play.
The ball was being passed around well using the full width of pitch, dragging Ely from side to side.
Two goals from Izzy and a further from Ren gave a deserved lead for the girls.

Ely were more compact in the second quarter, and broke through on a few occasions, but the ball was read superbly from Marianne and Char. Annabelle was sweeping high releasing any pressure on the defence and showed some of her developing kicking power. Claire joined the defence and kept the clean sheet alive alongside Char.
Marianne added a fourth which created a power play to give Ely an extra player.

In the second half Izzy broke into the opposition half to finish a great solo effort after persistent break up play from Arabella and Tilly.

Robyn, Seren and Everleigh were switching the ball and dominating the wings, while Marianne swapped with Annabelle who was breaking up play with Izzy in the middle of the pitch.
Ren showed her quality marshalling defence as easily as she did dominating play as striker.

After some excellent switching Robyn got on the score sheet with a sweet volley to complete the 3rd quarter at 6-0. It had been coming and a reward for her hard work up and down the right wing all day.

The final quarter was constant pressure as Claire watched from GK. Ely’s goalkeeper produced 7 or 8 great saves to deny Tilly, Ren, Annabelle, Everleigh and Arabella, before Marianne added another goal from some lively link up play.

Seren put the icing on the cake with a left foot strike on the bounce from outside the box, that settled in the top corner and an instant contender for goal of the season!

A thoroughly deserved victory in the girls inaugural league game, while showing utmost respect and sportsmanship for the opposition.⚽️👍 ... See MoreSee Less

Coton U13 Girls v Cambridge City Ladies and Girls U14s - Thursday 4th September 2022

Coton U13 Girls welcomed Cambridge City ladies and Girls U14 for a pre-season friendly on a warm, dry September evening on Coton Rec. City came with a big squad, taking the opportunity to road test a few new players while Coton had a settled team and just 2 subs. If the Coton girls had any nerves about playing a team playing a year above them and with a season’s experience of the 11 a-side format, they certainly didn’t show any. They came out the blocks like a whippet from the gate, surprising City with the speed and purpose of their movement and passing and they dominated the first 20 minutes. Shannon pulled the strings in midfield and there were some lovely combinations between her Bam and Mads on the left and Emilia and India down the right, leading to through balls to Julie and Frosso who were causing real problems for City’s back line. Whenever the ball did cross half way, Tes and Lia were there to win the ball back with their anticipation and doggedness and start the attacks rolling again, pinning City in their own half.

Coton scored 2 goals in this period and it was the least they deserved - the first goal came from a pinpoint corner from India which rebounded in off a City player and the second saw Julie, carrying from where she left off last season, scoring with a right foot shot across the keeper from the centre of the box after powering onto a through ball after some beautiful one touch build up play down the left side. City were visibly stung and as the half wore on they inevitably started edging their way back into the game and creating opportunities of their own. Their threats came through some powerful running from their midfielders and some dangerous crosses being whipped in with pace and power by their wide players, one of which was bundled into the goal near the end of the half to reduce the deficit. At half-time the sad news that the Queen had died started filtering through and the girls, match officials and coaches observed a minutes silence on the centre circle, the coaches having made the difficult decision to continue with the game.

The second half started much like the first with Coton denying City any time on the ball when they had possession and having regained possession they kept the ball well with the first though to play forward and find holes in the City defence. Izzy, who plays for Coton U10s Girls, had come on by this point and, incredibly, despite her age, did not look at all out of place with her technique, awareness and composure on the ball helping her fit in seamlessly in the Coton midfield. Pauline had also been brought on to add some fresh legs upfront and, despite not having played in that position before, made some really intelligent touches and showed good movement. Shannon was having great game and, having taken a number of shots which didn’t really trouble the City keeper, finally got the reward for all her hard work and endeavour, shooting across the keeper from just inside the right hand side of the City box to make it 3:1.

City seemed to grow in strength from that point on despite making regular substitutions and it became a real battle with Coton getting pinned deeper into their own half and their defence taking its turn to shine. City were starting to play more and more around the Coton box but every time it looked like they might break through Ellen, Emilia or Bam were there to see off the danger with great speed, tenacity and playing as a real unit. As the game was drawing to a close the City pressure paid off with their striker neatly turning in a cross to make the score 3:2. City nearly equalised with just about the last kick of the game via a powerful right foot shot that was curling just inside the right hand post before Cha, who was unsighted, made a fantastic diving save to her left to push the ball around the post and cap a strong night for her following some brave saves and excellent distribution.

A draw would have been harsh on the Coton girls who, led by Captain Fantastic, had all played brilliantly against a very tough team. Credit to the City girls who got stronger as the game wore on and who played the game in the right spirit throughout - a number of times girls checking that their opponents were ok when they looked hurt. Good luck both teams for the season ahead and thanks to Jess for a really professional refereeing display.⚽️👍 ... See MoreSee Less
