Coton U11 Girls vs Cambridge City U11, Trumpington
Friendly

With Lockdown 2.0 looming, our U11 Girls jumped at the opportunity to take on Cambridge City in a friendly, for what is likely to be the last game of the year, but also proved to be the most memorable. A ‘top of the table’ clash, that, for both teams is the fixture we look out for with both excitement and trepidation at the start of the season. As is always the case when these teams meet, both sides expected fireworks, with each team sporting a plethora of quality and power.

Coton came out of the blocks hungry. Pressing strongly and putting City on the back foot, Coton fired off some early shots on goal through the boots of Juliet and India, winning an opening corner for their efforts. Juliet’s corner found Shannon on the volley with a tidy flick to beat the Keep and bring up Coton’s first. A second followed moments later with Shannon sniping a roll out and skilfully finding the net. Julie brought up a third with a storming run down the left to beat four and a cool placement in the bottom left – straight out of the previous night’s coaching playbook.

The tide began to turn as City started to claw themselves back into the match. At times a grinding arm wrestle, and at times beautiful, fast, free-flowing football. What was notable from the side-line was that neither side were backing down, and that every player was giving their all on attack and defense. A standout moment saw Bam let Shannon loose down the centre with an incisive ball, catching City on the back foot. Shannon surged forward with twin options on either flank. A delicate lay off to Sophie saw her shot deflected wide by the Keep.

Coming into the last phase of the game, a beautiful turn in front of the goal saw City level the game at 4 a piece. As both teams clamoured for the winner, the anticipation on and off the ground reached fever pitch. Finally, with seconds on the clock, Emily found Juliet down the left. Outstripping her opponent with sheer will and determination, Juliet launched a rocket from far outside the box and found the right bottom corner to seal Coton’s historic victory.

As the final whistle blew, and the players’ chanted ‘three cheers’ to each other, every Girl walked off the pitch knowing they’d faced their toughest opponent and that they’d done themselves and their teams proud. Heartfelt thanks must go to the City management and players for making this such a wonderful contest, and for giving the Girls’ a memory that won’t be forgotten anytime soon.👍⚽️ ... See MoreSee Less

Coton U12 Girls vs PSG U12, Coton Rec

Our U12 Girls welcomed PSG to a leaf strewn Rec for a friendly this blustery Halloween morning. Their last encounter saw PSG come out strongly on top. Our Girls were determined to put all their hard work at training to the test and turn the tables on PSG, turning Trick into Treat.

As soon as the opening whistle blew, a foray up the field saw Shannon put an early shot on goal to test the PSG Keep. Unrattled, PSG struck back with a series of incisive passes down the middle, splicing apart the Coton defense and winning a corner. PSG whipped the ball into the Coton box. Coton desperately tried to clear the ball, however in the ensuing melee the ball fell to a PSG foot and was sunk into the back of the net. Moments later, Coton found themselves in an identical situation, and again the ball fell to a PSG foot and was tidied away into the goal. Some calming words from Coach Simon lifted our Girls heads back up and saw us begin to work for each other. A couple of driving runs from Julie down the left won a corner, Tess and Annie found space in the middle to put in some deft 1-2’s to generate ‘go forward’ ball, while Anais battled hard in the middle to drive the ball forward. The sustained pressure saw Hettie claim one back with a long range shot from outside the box just as the half time whistle blew.

The play in the second half increased in tempo as the hunger for an equaliser grew. India, leading by example, displayed some spectacular ball control to stand up 3 PSG midfielders and thread the ball through to Annie. A beautifully weighted lay-off found and advancing Shannon whose shot drifted tantalisingly close. Moments later, Shannon pounced on the Keep’s roll-out, stripping the PSG defender of the ball and calmly slotted it into the bottom right, levelling the match. The game rose to a frenzy, with PSG throwing everything at Coton in the last 15 mins with attack after attack being repelled by Emma’s blistering speed and Ellen’s fearless tackles. As the final whistle blew the heavens opened, drenching the Girls, but not wiping the smiles of their faces after such a thrilling and well fought draw. Well done Girls!👍⚽️ ... See MoreSee Less

Coton U11 Girls vs PSG U11, Saffron Walden

Our U11 Girls made the trek to Saffron Walden today to take on PSG, the howling wind and some pretty belligerent clay mud. Last time these teams clashed on PSG’s home turf, Coton came home licking their wounds. Determined not to have history repeat itself, and also to mark Marina’s last match for the team, our Girls came out firing.

An early exchange by both sides saw a shot on goal from Indy drift just to the right of the post. A moment later, Marina pounced on the end of Shannon’s throw-in to lob two defenders and have the ball fall at the feet of an advancing Shannon. Clipping it in off the half volley Shannon found the back of the net with force. The pre-match advice from Coach Andy to be wary of the claggy mud was spot on. The bobbling nature of the pitch and energy sapping mud meant that elegance and speed was substituted for brute force.

India, true to recent form, drove past two defenders deep into the PSG half before snapping in a cross to find Shannon in the box. The Keep’s deflection fell to Julie at the edge of the box, who buried it into the back of the net to bring up Coton’s second.

Two quick goals by PSG, one of which left confused players and Coaches alike looking for VAR, levelled the game. A repost from Shannon through the Keep’s legs with a deft touch was immediately answered by another leveller from PSG just as the half time whistle blew.

The second half saw some strong tackling from Matilda and Lia, some beautifully weighted balls to put Coton on the offensive from Tesni who was having a standout game, and Shannon bring up her hattrick to regain the lead. A superb throw from Tesni found Shannon, who drew two defenders and put Indy in space. Indy made short work of bringing up Coton’s sixth to seal the match and cap off a win for Marina’s final match, quickly followed by a warm three cheers for Marina to send her on her way. Bon Voyage Marina!👍⚽️

Coton U11 Girls vs Sawston U11, Coton Rec

Our Coton U11 Girls welcomed a plucky Sawston team to the Coton Rec for their first encounter in almost exactly a year to the day. Last time Coton came out on top, thanks to Emily’s debut goal and Matilda putting the final nail in the coffin. This year Sawston were out to even the score.

An early rush on the Coton goal by Sawston was snaffled by Marina, taking a touch and playing the ball flat to Tesni. Tesni, completing the triangle, found Indy and left Sawston spinning. India used the space to drive deep into the Sawston half and whip a pin point cross into the box to find Bam. Bam’s shot drifted just wide of the goal mouth, but sent a clear message. Undeterred, Sawston struck back with two long range shots on goal, both of which were dealt with by a Cha, who is rising in dominance in the goal mouth week after week. A run down the left by Julie drew in the Sawston defense, like bees around the hive. Some quick thinking saw Julie switch the ball to the other wing, where Indy pounced, catching Sawston on the back foot to knock one past the keeper, bringing up her 6th goal of the season so far. Moments later, in the final play of the first half, Julie cut into midfield from the wing to link up with Tesni. A deft ball put Emily on the front foot, allowing her to deploy a thunderous shot on goal and bring up Coton’s second.

The second half saw the pendulum swing the other way, with two goals from Sawston in quick succession, levelling the match and raising the stakes. A blinder of a corner from Cha caught a deflection off a Sawston defender before finding the back of the net to put Coton back in the lead. With minutes to go, a cross from Julie picked out Matilda on the edge of the box. Catching the ball on the volley, Matilda put it in the top right corner and seal a Coton win, and to cement her status as Sawston’s nemesis. Three cheers from both teams signalled the end of another fizzer. Well played Girls.👍⚽️

Wow! What a game of football as our ever-improving Coton U12 Girls took on, bookies- favourites, Histon Hornets in the morning kickoff at Coton Rec today. The first half was goalless, but with the Coton defence tested to the limits, and but for some fantastic last ditch tackles by Bryony, Ellen and in particular Emma, plus some good stops by Natalie, we could have been a few behind. At the other end, Shannon had tested the keeper with a quickly taken shot through a crowded area, but an amazing diving save kept the scores at 0-0 at the break. Coton were growing into the game, and had the best of the early exchanges with Julie being set running down the left after tough tackling by Elliyah and neat work by Tess in the middle of the park. Hettie won a corner and we maintained the pressure but no goals came. This had been our best period of the game, but then, a bit against the run of play, Histon made the breakthrough beating the offside and finishing neatly past Charlotte in goal. The goal had us rattled and the quick and skilful Histon attack continued the pressure, winning corner after corner and only some fantastic saves from Charlotte kept the scoreline to only 0-1. Ellen and Emma had been immense, stopping so many Histon chances. However, the minutes were ticking away and it looked as though it would be disappointment for the girls even though they’d played so well. Then a great tackle by Bryony set a counter attack and Anaïs through on goal, but another good save from their keeper and the watching coaches and parents just felt our luck wasn’t in today. Our girls had other ideas though; Ari battled brilliantly and fed Natalie and on to Julie. A ball flicked through into Shannon’s run and this time her driven shot was too good for the Histon keeper sparking celebrations throughout the whole team. The spirit in this lovely group fully on show as Bryony sprinted the length of the pitch to high-five Shannon. Histon continued to look for the winner but the minutes were against them now. Into the final minute now, Charlotte made another save, but her quick ball out was won well by our midfield and we were again working the ball upfield to win a corner which we felt must surely be the final kick of the game? No...turned out to be the penultimate kick as Julie fired in her corner and Hettie volleyed into the back of the net to win the game!! OMG!! There are some matches where it is really really hard to contain yourselves as coaches on the sidelines!!! Girls - you were amazing 👍⚽️ ... See MoreSee Less
