vs Coventry Utd
Away league match
<p>Starlands travelled to Coventry hoping that dreams do come true....alas.....that turned out not to be the case.
<p>However, the girls gave a spirited display that compared to other Premier teams so they can be rightly pleased with their efforts. Especially the Second half where Coventry had to battle hard for their win.
<p>In the early exchanges Starlands were looking quite good. Whilst Coventry were playing the ball around and spreading the play...Starlands tried to press and hustle them off the ball and spoil their tempo. It looked to be working however we spurned an early chance and then fatigue set in....coupled with laziness.
<p>I wont go into details but Coventry scored 4 fine goals....and were worthy half time leaders.
<p>The game was played in a really competitive and friendly spirit. Definitely assisted by having 3 officials over see the match.
<p>When the first off side was given - I couldnt help but have a wry smile when I turned to the COventry manager and said...We'll you cant blame us he's not one of our parents !
<p>Starlands had a little pep talk at half time...doubtful whether they listened too busy scoffing jaffa cakes !!!
<p>However, they continued to try and thats all you can ask anyone to do....
<p>Olivia was very unfortunate not to score 2 or 3 goals when through one on one by forced mistakes....
<p>Alas it was not meant to be and a further two goals made the final scoreline 6-0
<p>We wish Coventry well in the final v Leafield .....maybe next year we will go one further ?????....... However, it was further than we have ever been before in The Cup so well done girls.
<p>Happy Birthday to the twins tomorrow - and Thank you for the cakes !!
