Coton U12G vs Haverhill Black, Away (League)

When our U12 Girls last travelled to Haverhill, Frosso made her debut for Coton. Today, six months on, saw her starting the match in the heart of midfield in the ‘conductor’ role that Shannon typically plays. Building upon the last three league matches, the focus for today was to play good passing football and to move the ball around the pitch.

At odds with the glorious late Autumn sun, the sticky surface made slick passing play challenging. While our girls adapted to the conditions, the Haverhill No 8, Molly, showed a threatening turn of pace, breaking our lines and testing Cha ingoals several times. As Coton warmed into the match, a thread of passes starting from Ellen and Bam, found Julie down the wing. Unleashing her left foot she drew first blood for Coton, lifting the tempo of the match. A few minutes later, Bam again put Julie in space. This time Julie kept wide, cutting the ball in at full pace. Frosso, on the spot, instinctively connected with the ball on the fly to find the back of the net, in what is sure to be a contender for goal of the season. Not missing out on the action, Emily put in a scorcher of a drive from the edge of the box, low and hard, to bring up Coton’s third. On fire, Emily burst out of midfield, driving directly at the goal to create a 1 v 1 with the keep. A well-positioned strike ricocheted off the left upright and fell in front of an advancing India who made no mistake in racking up her first goal of the season. Rounding out the first half, captain fantastic Ellen pounced on a loose kick out from the Haverhill keep and put a top-drawer finish in to the bottom right corner.

The second half saw our relentless rondo’s, a staple of our practise sessions, beginning to pay off, with the Girls moving the ball quickly to get it out of the swarm of Haverhill players and find space. Emily, Tesni and Bam were relishing in the space created from making triangles down the left, working the ball up the field for Emily to bring up her second and find herself as Coton’s top goal scorer this season so far. Matilda, picking herself up after a rough collision in midfield, battled to the end, making two goal saving tackles on the Haverhill No 8 as the match drew to a close. Not convinced that the game was over, Cha and Matilda created two more chances for Frosso, which Frosso gladly accepted, beating the keep on both occasions to bring up her hat-trick, and a well-deserved ‘player of the match’ from the Haverhill team. The grit and determination of a developing Haverhill team was not reflected in the final score, but it was reflected in the praise and respect from our Girls for Haverhill’s ‘never say die’ attitude. Specific kudos went to the standout performances of the two keeps who received a joint ‘player of the match.’ Well battled Girls!

Coton U15 Girls started well this weekend and dominated early play against a good Girls Utd side. It was no surprise that they took the lead through a good move down the left when Emily passed a good through ball for Annabelle to run onto, outpacing the defence and calmly slotting home.

There were several chances at both ends with Emily again going close with her shot hitting the foot of the post. Coton pressed well and just before halftime were in a good position on goal when the play was called back due to the Utd keeper falling awkwardly scrambling back to goal. After a short break for treatment the half ended with Coton 1-0 up.

Coton kicked off the second half and Utd immediately pressed forward as expected. Again there were chances at both ends and Utd then equalised with a fortunate long range effort.

Our girls responded well, pushed forward straight away and were rewarded with their second goal. It started from a throw into Millie who held the ball well and put a great through ball to Anabelle who again raced clear to fire home.

We had some good chances to put the game out of reach but again Utd started to come back into the game. Coton responded with some resilient defending but again unluckily conceded with a long range effort with the last kick of the game. Final score 2-2.

Many positives to take from the game against a good Girls Utd team who will no doubt be challenging for the league title this season. Well done girls - a great game to watch! 👍⚽

Coton U12G vs Chesterton Eagles, Coton (League)

Week three saw a return to the familiarity of a home game. Having not lost on this pitch since the U9’s, the expectation was high from our Girls. Chesterton are renowned as strong adversaries, who, like Coton, enjoy playing the ball up the pitch. Both teams took a while to warm into the match, leaving the coaches wondering if the fuel shortage had spread to the Girls’ legs. A cheeky poke on goal by the Chesterton forward jolted both teams into action. An unfortunate ankle roll from Shannon had her sit out the first half, and saw Matilda take up residence in the attack. Jumping on a cross from Julie, Matilda haggled with the Chesterton defence and got a sneaky shot off. Tesni, having a stormer of a game, threw herself right into the thick of it, defending the length of the pitch and attacking from anywhere. The only player covering more ground was Emilia, blasting down the sideline to threaten Chesterton in their box, weaving in and out of players with some tidy footwork, and speeding back into defence to link up with Captain Fantastic, Ellen, to thwart any break aways from Chesterton. India, having a blinder of a game, and deservedly player of the match, put in a beautiful dipping corner to find Julie on the spot for a quality finish to draw first blood for Coton as the game entered half time.

The second half saw the intensity rise to a simmer. A beautiful through ball put the Chesterton striker in space behind our defensive line. An excellent strike simultaneously levelled the match, and raised the tempo of the match even higher. Hungry, India pounced on a Chesterton defender to force an error and managed to ricochet a ball into space. Emily, seized the opportunity to belt the ball into the top right corner and edge Coton ahead once more. After 5 minutes of intense, sustained pressure holding Chesterton in their box and peppering in corner after corner, Chesterton exploded into space and battled the length of the pitch. Out of nowhere Chesterton put a speculator across the face of the goal only to have it bounce in off the far post and level the match. What a superb performance from both teams. Some really magical football and real cohesiveness, boding well for an exciting season ahead. Well done to both teams.

Coton U12G vs Cambourne United, Cambourne (League)

Week two of the league saw us travel to Cambourne for, what was billed to be, a real battle. Settling into our new way of playing, our Girls took a while to warm to the match, looking at sixes and sevens. It took a shot on goal from Cambourne to knock us into gear and to begin to string a few passes together. An intricate 1-2 between Julie and Emilia, and a thumping corner from India started to turn the tide. Just as Coton warmed to the game, an unfortunate hand ball in our box brought up Cambourne’s first just before the half time whistle.

A more deliberate and determined Coton started the second half with some purposeful passing. In a move that started with Ellen at the back and involved Katy, Sophie, Emily, Ami and India our Girls strung together 13 passes, creating space through using the triangles and advancing the ball over the half way. Moments later, a through ball from Tesni put Julie on the front foot. Julie tapped around a robust challenge from the Cambourne right back and bore down on the goal, tapping the ball into the bottom right and equalising. As the game draw to a close, Cambourne pounced on a loose kick out to nudge ahead. The intensity lifted, Coton, through some fantastic intensity around the ball at the back, moved the ball forward through Emilia to find the advancing wingers. With just minutes left on the clock, a perfectly weighted corner from India was met with a header from Juliet to square the match. Special mention must go to Frosso who was unlucky to score two volleys and Amandine for some calmness on the ball and battling in defense. But the ultimate kudos must go to the player of the match, Emilia, for her tireless energy, commitment and spirit. Well battled Girls!

Coton U12G vs St Ives, Coton Rec (Home)
League

Tuck shop open, respect barriers aligned, it was back to ‘business as usual,’ but with a twist. Never before has a season been so anticipated as the 21/22 Season (at least from the coaches perspective). Emerging from Pandemic paralysis into our first competitive season the spectators were presented with a new style of play, a new shape to the game, new rules and a new team captain.

The last time St Ives and Coton clashed was in the U8’s some 3 years ago.. on that day the keeper was the standout, facing down a relentless barrage from Matilda, India and Shannon. Today, was no different. Both teams started tentatively, feeling out the opposition. St Ives initial efforts to press were met with resilient Coton defense. Marshalled by the new Captain Fantastic, Ellen, the defensive structure found triangles to take possession of the ball and to work it up the pitch, ball to feet. Soon, go-forward ball was presented to Shannon, who threaded the central defenders legs with an immaculate pass to put Emily in for a 1 v 1 with the keep. A determined and tussling Emily struck first blood. Seconds later Bam was into the mix, linking with Shannon in the mid to put Emily on for a second shot on target. With players working hard to find space, Shannon played the role of the conductor to perfection, working with Emilia and India down the right, and Bam and Julie down the left, Shannon orchestrated Coton to a respectable 3-0 lead.

A superb give and go, and drive down the right gave St Ives the space to put on goal an immaculate, curving strike that snuck into the top right corner, shortening the score. Matilda, Katy and Frosso linked up to threaten the St Ives keep. Frosso, relentless, driving down the left, beat her opponent in the corner to lay in a cross for an advancing Katy and Ami. Cha, released from goal became St Ives worst nightmare, threatening and battling she notched up Coton’s fourth, before Emily followed suit and scythed up the middle to double her tally. A fine finish from Shannon moments later brought up her hat-trick and topped off Coton’s first competitive victory. Kudos goes to both team for a fantastic first battle of the season.

Score: Coton 6 – 1 St Ives
Captain: Ellen👍⚽️ ... See MoreSee Less

Congratulations to Coton U12 Girls, winners of the brilliantly organised Cambourne Town Tournament this afternoon! Immense performances throughout the team with cracking Charlotte between the sticks and a calm and collected captain’s display by exemplary Ellen, marshalling the effervescent Emilia and tenacious Tesni either side of her. Brilliant Bam and fantastic Frosso added to our team’s attacking prowess, with incredible India, magnificent Madeleine, super Shannon and jesting Juliet tearing through the opposition defences. Safely navigating passage out of the group stage against two strong PSG sides and Cambourne themselves, the girls had a tense semi against PSG Black who were growing into the tournament after beating us earlier on. Both teams were fantastic and, with nothing between them, extra time and penalties followed. Massive well done to all the girls who stepped up and took their penalties but the plaudits go to GK Charlotte who’s incredible saves, including a full stretch finger tip round the post, took our girls into the final. Here we met PSG Blue, a team brimming with talent and pace, and another tense game ensued. After good work out wide by Indi, Mads made a darting run from right to left across the edge of the box and took the PSG defence and keeper by surprise bending a left foot shot low into the corner of the net. PSG came back at us and we spent most of the rest of the game camped out in our box, defending cross after cross, teasing run after run. Finally, a ball out to Julie who somehow found that last bit of energy for a dynamic run down the left wing and bullet cross into the box for the late run of Indi to collect and fire past the PSG keeper to eruptions of celebrations on our bench who knew the game had been won. Really well done girls - you made us all very proud! 👍⚽️ ... See MoreSee Less
