The U12s were unlucky to come away with a defeat against Blunsdon after a strong performance in which they controlled much of the game and created plenty of positive play.

The girls worked hard throughout and showed good determination, with the result ultimately decided by two breakaway goals from the opposition. It was a frustrating outcome, particularly as the team felt they had done enough to take something from the game. An almost certain goal was also ruled out, adding to the disappointment.

Despite the result, there were plenty of positives to take away. Freya battled brilliantly and kept Blunsdon's number six quiet for much of the game, showing great commitment and determination. The team also continued to compete well physically against a side that had a noticeable size advantage, never shying away from a challenge.

Maddie was recognised for her fantastic fighting spirit and willingness to get stuck in. Her attitude and determination were exactly what the team needed, and she set a great example for her teammates.

Although the result did not reflect the team's performance, the girls could be proud of their efforts and the way they approached the game. There was plenty of quality on show, and they were unfortunate not to get the result their performance deserved.

The team would look to take the positives into the next game and continue building on the progress they had shown.
