Report: With unusually hot weather for October (where was it in the Summer I ask you?), Cheam arrived at Purley for their first match of the season, raring to go. However, at half time, we found ourselves 4-1 down, with Emily scoring our only goal. With some words of encouragement from our coaches, Panksta and Jonesy, we fared better in the second half, creating even more chances on goal. We managed to scrape back another goal, due to an excellent shot from Emelia. Unfortunately, they also scored again, and even with our persistent runs at their goal, we were unable to convert any. Throughout the whole match, especially the second half, we played with a lot of spirit and effort which the score line did not reflect. The final score was 5-1, we felt we had tried hard and showed a lot of winning potential, especially in the second half.
Thanks to Jonesy, Panksta and our loud supporters who kept cheering for us. Also, thanks to Craigy for umpiring and, of course, to Annabel and Emelia, who had rushed from their Under 14 match to come and play for us. Onwards and upwards.
