  Match Report

  As we got into our position ready for kick-off, Darcey (our captain) and the Bidford captain decided who was taking kick-off by doing rock, paper, scissors. Darcey won kick-off for our team. As she took kick-off, the game got under way. For one of our first passes the other team’s players quickly intercepted, but our defenders were ready. So our defence (Jess) managed to quickly get the ball off the player and passed it down to Clara – our left winger. She took a touch and found Darcey space, Darcey found Amelie in space, Darcey dribbled past one midfield, then as people tried to tackle her, Darcey found Amelie in space and passed to her. Amelie dribbled past one, two defenders then she sent a nice low, soft shot through the keeper’s legs and into the back of the net. 1 – 0.

  As Bidford took a centre kick they passed it out to their midfield, they had a dribble and crossed it back into their striker. However, our right defender (Eva) tackled their player and passed it to Georgia, our right wing, who had a dribble. Georgia then passed it to Amelie. Amelie dribbled to the right of the goal but did not have enough space to cross it into the box but she tried and kicked it and the ball bashed against the post and went out for a goal kick. About seven minutes later, Amelie took a good run but she got fouled and it was a free kick just outside the box. As the referee blew the whistle for Amelie to take the free kick, she took a run up and shot it. It hit the post and Bidford took possession. A minute later Bidford had a run, and our defenders tackled the players but still Erin had a shot on her, and she did a great save. After lots of shots on target, Darcey managed to slot a goal past their goalie by making a great run through a bunch of players and then took a good shot that flew past their goalkeeper into the back of the net. The final score for the first half was 2 – 0. The team were ready to push their way through into the second half 2 – 0.

  For the second half we had made a few changes. We put Jess in goal, Amelie in defence, Darcey as striker and Erin in centre midfield, there was no chance Bidford would score. We swapped halves and Bidford took kick off. Five minutes later, the defenders passed the ball down to midfield and to our striker Darcey, who shot it into the back of the net.

  3 – 0

  After Darcey had scored a fab goal Amelie and Jess swapped positions. Amelie in goal and Jess in defence. Clara made a run so Darcey passed the ball to her. She passed back to Clara who then wacked it in to the back of the net. 4 – 0 with no subs our players were starting to get tired. So there was more shots on for the other team. Amelie our goalie managed to save all of them. All three of our goal keepers, Erin, Jess and Amelie managed not to let any goals pass them. Also our defenders, midfielders and our striker pulled off a wonderful performance. The final score was 4 – 0.

  Match Report

  On Monday 30^th January, the orange football team played a match against Mappleborough Green. We were a few players short but luckily, Freddie, Sammy and Huey were able to step in at the last minute!

  Both teams got off to a strong start on a very muddy and slippery pitch. Claverdon took an early lead with a fantastic goal by Henry. Mappleborough scored soon after – taking the score to 1 – 1. Freddie scored the next goal taking Claverdon out in front 2 – 1 at half-time.

  In the second half Sammy scored to make it 3 – 1 to us, but Mappleborough soon came back with a goal making it 3 – 2 to Claverdon when the whistle blew.

  It was a brilliant match, played in good spirits by all the kids involved.

  Well done Claverdon!
