Unfortunately yesterday our JPL U15 girls were defeated by the narrowest of margins in the JPL National Final. A 1-0 defeat to fellow league members Erith & Belvedere saw us fall at the final hurdle at the wonderful Worcester Warriors Stadium.
After a hectic start to the game the girls conceded a scrappy goal and that was largely the only attempt Erith had as we huffed and puffed, playing some sparkling football but it was just one of those games and that door would not break down.
Whilst we have to take defeat on the chin, we are immensely proud the performance and the style of football we player throughout the game. Football is a wonderful sport but sometimes it can also be incredibly harsh and hard to take.
Thanks to everybody for the fantastic support and well done to Lee and his Erith team who defended for their lives to keep us at bay.
Remember girls, these are not losers medals, you have won runners up medals and so we move on. Next stop the 11th of May when we find ourselves in the National Championship Play Offs. Venue and Opponents still TBC
