On Saturday 7th of October, the Junior A's had their first cup match of the season.
Nerves were evident as we were playing Wesley College, one of the strongest teams at our age group.
In the warm up everyone was excited for this important match. It kicked off at 10am with the support of our parents and the Senior team. Soon enough we were in the Wesley circle and won numerous short corners but we could not find a way past the Wesley defence. Mid-way through the first half we won another short corner, the initial shot was blocked but Anna Costello was able to get a second shot away which rebounded off the keeper into Charlotte Cody's path where she calmly lifted the ball over the on coming keeper and we took the lead. The rest of the half was filled with many opportunities narrowly missing the goal. We were in a great position going into half time.
The second half was a different story, Wesley came out fiery and at some stages looked like it could even out but we held our ground and finally the whistle blew. We were into the next round of the cup.
