Week 1 | GIRLS OFF TO A FLYER
U8 vs Adamant Lions & Sport London E Benfica
2-0 & 5-0
An exceptional performance from Bloomsbury’s U8s winning in very hot weather by an aggregate of 7-0 against two Boys’ teams.
Piper’s brace in the first fixture sealed Bloomsbury a 2-0 victory against Adamant Lions, and the second fixture’s proceedings was started by another Piper brace with Princess Aiva adding to it and going one better with a hat-trick, to beat Sport London E Benfica 5-0.
Every player that turned up did themselves very proud and showed to everyone who watched their immense character and quality, with Alexandra emphasising just that: showcasing not only top-drawer versatility through playing multiple positions, but mixing that with a stern, technical tackling ability which allowed the team to maintain their pressure.
U13 vs HMH FC
5-1
A stunning start to the season for Bloomsbury’s U13s as they smashed HMH FC 5-1 at home in the Girls Super League. A game seemingly consisting of F’s galore: five goals scored, four goals alone for Yas, four times the post was hit, but nonetheless a fantastic performance, especially from Naomi who grabbed an assist and was solid in defensive, especially when she adapted to their goalkeeper kicking it long. She listened well to instructions and had a great attitude throughout, representative of the squad as a whole as all the girls showed a shrewd understanding of the topics worked on in training relating to their movement to receive, epitomised by our goal that was built all the way back from our goal kick.
U14 vs Impact Football Academy
1-0
A 1-0 defeat against Impact Football Academy was the score in the friendly for our U14s, but despite the result it was a more than worthwhile game that challenged the girls and showcased a definite potential and routes for success in competitive games, and it basked Shola in absolute glory as she combined great distribution and communication with multiple saves that seemed near impossible to make.
