Devils vs Rosetta: 4 nil to Devils

The Devils met and conquered a Rosetta team that was better and more determined than last time we played them.

Our forwards, Millie, Rhianna, Bella (wearing AJ’s mum’s socks) and Bijou (in the second half), dominated play, passing well to each other. This great teamwork produced many shots on goal and only the strong goalkeeping by Rosetta prevented the final score being higher.

Millie pushed consistently through the mid-field, showing excellent control of the ball and was rewarded by 3 goals. The other goal was scored by AJ.

Rosie was hard working in midfield as always, repeatedly repelling Rosetta’s determined attacks. Alice-Mary and Mae were reliable in defence, keeping to their positions well and talking to each other. As goalie in the first half Alice C saved a certain goal, with her strong kickouts putting the team back into attack. Lillie continued this good work as goalie in the second half, strongly guarding between two very wide goal posts.

This week’s practising of throw-ins at training had direct benefits with Millie, Bella, Anna S-M and AJ all seen doing long, high and well placed throw-ins.

Thanks to Stephen for stepping in as Devils coach while Graham (and Eva) were away this week, and thanks also to Alice's big sister Susie for taking these photos.
