Some excellent performances from the U9 Tigers at the Whetstone Tournament yesterday!
The girls topped their group with 2 wins and 2 draws before producing a dominant display in the semi-final, running out 4-0 winners to secure their place in the final.
Unfortunately, despite creating the better chances and controlling much of the game, they were beaten 2-1 in the final, finishing as runners-up for the second tournament in a row.
The coaches commented, “we are so proud of all the girls. Naturally, they were disappointed with the result, but they should take a huge amount of confidence from their performances throughout the day. One of the most pleasing aspects was the way they responded when going a goal behind in a couple of matches; they showed great character, never let their heads drop, and kept fighting until the final whistle.”
Another fantastic day of football, teamwork, and development, with plenty of positives to build on.
It was also great to bump into a few of the other RB teams throughout the day and see so many girls enjoying their football. 🧡
Keep your heads high Tigers, your hard work and attitude make us incredibly proud!
