Under 9 Performance Squad vs Worthys Youth U9 Blues

U9 Development Autumn Division 3

Our U9 girls' performance team celebrated their first Testway Youth Football League match with a superb display against Worthys Youth Blues U9 boys. From the opening whistle to the final moments, the girls commanded the game, demonstrating a level of control and dominance that left the spectators highly impressed.

The team's possession-based style of play was evident throughout, as they patiently moved the ball, looking to switch play and work through the thirds. This confident and composed approach in possession meant that our goalkeeper was rarely tested, only being called into action a handful of times. The girls are truly starting to build strong connections and it shows on the pitch, as they are fully embracing our football philosophy. A special well done must also go to our Player of the Match, Beau, whose distribution from the back was outstanding. She is growing in confidence with every game and was a delight to watch today.

While the final score could have been much higher, the girls' performance was nothing short of brilliant. Their only area for improvement was in front of goal, where a bit more clinical finishing and a few better-timed passes to teammates in better positions would have seen them hit double figures. Regardless, this was an outstanding start to the new season and a fantastic sign of things to come. Well done, girls!
