Coton U12 v Isleham, Away (League)

After nearly two months of away fixtures, we had one last McDonalds to sample before the return home next week. Brandishing a full bench, we took the opportunity to solidify some key combinations against a developing Isleham team.

From the starting whistle, Coton was on the offensive. Bam, dispossessing Isleham, played out of her corner to find Matilda centrally. Heads up, Matilda found Katy in space. Acting as the pivot, Katy fed the ball to Ami, who dribbled into the final third to link up with Madeline. Mad’s wasted no time in opening the scoring. Minutes later, the dynamic duo of Frosso and Emilia added another two to the score sheet. As the game wore on, the combinations paid dividends, opening the flood gates, and bringing a hat-trick of hat-tricks to Juliet, Mad’s and Ellen, and a stellar goal to Indy. Amongst the highlights were a solid penalty, a strike from 25 yds out that skimmed the inside of the net, and a length of the pitch solo effort all from Ellen, and some amazing assists from out wide courtesy of Indy and Emily. Like a metronome, Tes was her usual rock in the midfield, and Cha added the ‘pow’ factor to our attack along with her trademark versatility in goal.

Although an impressive scoresheet, it was Matilda, Ami and Bam who stole the show. Bam, resolute under pressure, calm in controlling the awkward high ball, and distributing centrally and up the wing, turning every ball into an opportunity. Marshalling from the back, and donning the Captain’s armband, Matilda led by example, composed, using Cha as the extra player or playing wide and up through her wing backs. Showing her diversity, with a foray up front, she caused immediate trouble for Isleham, putting a barrage of shots on target. Ami, high in confidence, backing herself again and again to switch between the through ball and a darting dribble, acted as the glue in midfield in her best performance this season.

Well done Girls for such a complete whole-team performance. Next week.. chips at the Plough!

Coton U12 v Netherton, Away (Cup - QF)

As we entered the quarterfinal of the Cup, against an unbeaten Netherton side, the tension and anticipation were palpable in both camps. In front of a vocal Netherton home crowd, donning a sea of red and white scarves, our Girls started strong, probing the Netherton defense. Taking a leaf from last week’s game, we worked the ball from left to right and back again, using our defensive midfield as a pivot, until we generated space. True to form, space opened up on the left and immediately Juliet and Shannon exploited it with a swift 1-2 to put Julie into the corner, allowing her to unleash a long-range cross which (fortuitously) beat the keep and put Coton into an early lead. Five minutes later, another cross from Julie found Maddy in the box. A quick lay-off to find Shannon in space, and a delicately placed shot brought up Coton’s second, settling the nerves. An unfortunate ricochet in our box from a well hit corner saw Netherton claw one back, only to see the lead extended once again by some lovely interplay through the mid by Maddy, and a finish at the other end by Shannon. An early, well battled, shot on goal just after half time by Maddy sealed the match, but really did not portray accurately the battle on the pitch.

Netherton were physical and skilful on the ball. Coton, determined to play the ball, starved Netherton of possession, frustrating them for large swathes of the match. With 15 mins to play, Netherton found an extra gear through their scything No 9, Anma, stretching our defense to their limits. A goal line save from Cha narrowly averted a coronary in the Coaches corner, and some fantastic marshalling of the defensive line by Ellen, kept the wolves at bay. Katy, magestical in defense and attack, put in her performance of the season thus far to stymie any Netherton drives down the middle. Emilia, dwarfed in height, but not in stature, by her opposite number, used her blinding speed to maximum effect, harassing and dispossessing her opponent to turn the play from defense to attack time and time again, closing the door on Netherton. Another great run out from Bam, Lia and Tesni really solidified our defense, shutting down Netherton advances, and always looking for the opportunity to play the ball out and up. Likewise, another stellar performance from Frosso on the left wing made an immediate impact on the game. Always inclusive, Shannon did her best to keep the linesman on his toes right up to the final whistle. What a battle between two unfamiliar foes, leaving both teams hungry for the rematch in the League later this year. Bring on the Cup Semi’s!

Coton U12 v Huntingdon, Away (League)

On the road again, our Girls battled the A14, the elements and a developing Huntingdon side intent on progressing up the table. The bench was thrown straight into action before the opening whistle as Cha’s fingers had a disagreement with the ground.. uncharacteristically coming off second best! Immediately into the fray, Matilda put in a measured and well weighted through-ball to find India advancing down the right. Wrong footing her defender, India put a threatening cross into the danger zone just in front of the Keep, forcing a fumble. Emily, quick to react, took the ball on the volley and extended her goal scoring streak to 4 out of 5 League matches this year. Bam, sporting her best twinkle toes, worked with Amandine to drive the ball down the left this time, winning a corner for their efforts. India whipped the corner across the goal mouth, coming within inches of a goal-scoring opportunity. Minutes later, in the thick of it again, India showed some beautiful corner play to beat two defenders and find Emily and Katy on the spot, only to be denied by a top-drawer deflection from the Keep. Not content with this, Indy slotted one moments later.. with her less favoured left boot. A superb goal.

Coton were slowly unlocking Huntingdon, finding effective combinations all over the pitch. Emily, playing centrally, found the lateral ball to Indy very effective, giving Indy space and go-forward ball. This became a workhorse of progressing the ball forwards. Emilia and India continued their dynamic duo that’s worked so well this season, exploiting their pace to drive the ball down the right. India, playing right back, found Katy centrally. Turning on the ball, Katy threaded the ball between the centre and left backs to give the unstoppable Emilia go-forward ball.. all the space she needed to bring up her second! Some beautiful patient play around the Huntingdon box saw the girls move it via Cha from right to left, probing for space, and eventually finding an opening for Emily to bring up her second. As the match drew to a close, Huntingdon snagged a well-deserved consolation, only for celebrations to be cut short by a piece of Shannon-tastic magic, lobbing the Keep at the other end to seal the match. A great stint in and out of goal for Frosso, some lovely advancing play from Tesni, Cha as the rock at centre back, Lia putting her long-range cannon of a throw to great effect, and Matilda and Ami pouncing at every opportunity, this was an ‘all in’ performance. Well battled Girls!

Coton U12 v Peterborough Northern Star, Away (Cup!)

Our U12 Girls traveled north to Peterborough, the home of Northern Star, a team we have never played competitively before, and one in the midst of an unbeaten run so far this season. To add to the occasion, this game marked our first Cup game, signalling the start of the much anticipated knockout competition!

PNS started strong, clearly adept to the bobbly ground, while our Girls took a moment to get accustomed to the longer grass. Two threatening forays into our box laid down the challenge. Our Girls, rising to the occasion, responded with zest. Ellen, playing out from the back, found Julie on the left. Laying the ball off to Shannon and picking up Shannon’s splicing pass into space, Julie whipped in an early cross to find Frosso on the spot. A perfectly timed half volley brought up an early lead, and completed a real contender for ‘goal of the season’ (displacing the last contender.. also scored by Frosso!). PNS, always on the offensive, caught a break as the longer grass kept the ball in play. A bullet of a back pass found the PNS No.8 in a fully committed foot-first dive to level the match. After the restart, India dragged the ball between two PNS players, creating space enough to lay the ball off to Shannon. Shannon switched play to the left, finding space behind the PNS defences and allowing Julie the time to place a strong, well directed, rocket into the bottom right to regain the lead. The first half drawing to a close, Emily broke free from the midfield and drove at the keep, 1 v 1. A super save from the PNS Keep, gave India the opportunity to put in another spectacular corner, finding Shannon glued to the back post and edging Coton 3-1 ahead going into the break.

The second half saw the Emilia:India duo really come into its own, turning defence into attacking opportunities time after time, and making PNS’s route down the left a minefield. Emilia and the PNS attack epitomised a David and Goliath struggle, with Emilia typically relentless. The back three of Bam, Ellen and Emilia put in a stellar, cohesive performance, getting into space to support the play and working the ball from right, to left, and back in the most mature a performance as we’ve ever seen over the years. Shannon doing a Shannon-special (punishing a loose kick out) sealed the match with a 4-1 result and won herself the players’ player of the match. From the Coaching staff’s perspective, we could have given a medal to any one of the Girls for the completeness of the performance, the strength across the pitch, and the supportive style of play. We were strong in the corners, whether playing out from our own defensive line with triangles from Emilia:Ellen:India, or the Ellen:Bam combo on the left, or digging the ball out of the attacking corners, with a cheeky Julie nutmeg, or an Indy Cruyff turn. But equally, we were impenetrable down the middle, with the Frosso, Shannon, Tesni, & Ellen spine proving unbreakable. Well played Girls, a well deserved victory for a complete team effort!

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!
