U11s Fenland League POSH Girls (3) v Wyberton (3)

Sat 20th Jan

POSH U11's entertained Wyberton Wildcats at Hampton which on the previous two encounters have been well fought and very equally matched,so there was real desire to come away with the points. This encounter was action packed and exciting from the start to the final whistle. POSH were a little slow to start resulting in Wyberton taking the lead after just 6 minutes. This made POSH spring into action and Megan Parrett having just come onto the pitch showed good individual skill and control and scored a well struck goal, levelling the score 1-1. Both teams had opportunities with the midfield controlling play effectively and feeding the ball to the strikers. Wyberton were kept under control by mature and disciplined defending from Jessica Amps and Ellie Ireson, who are now developing a good understanding, especially when covering and supporting each other. Unfortunately Wyberton went into the lead just 5 minutes before half time with a well struck goal.
POSH started the second half strongly and were rewarded early on when Jessica Blackbird slotted home a well taken corner from Katherine Amps. This levelled the score at 2-2. This made for a thrilling rest of the half with both teams having many opportunities. Wyberton struck after 10 minutes. POSH kept their heads up and from the support from the side lines showed real desire to come back from behind again. POSH played their best football in the last 10 minutes of the game, supporting and passing the ball with pace and accuracy. Jessica Blackbird netted her second with 5 minutes remaining, levelling the score at 3-3. POSH continued to believe that they could win, but the whistle came before they could make it reality. It was certainly a tense and entertaining match with all the POSH team coming off the pitch tired and muddy after giving a very encouraging performance.

U13s Fenland League Guyhirn (3) v POSH Girls (2)

Sat 26th Jan

The girls are certainly making their mark!! Straight in on the whistle saw Bethany Cameron score the 1st inside 5 minutes with some nice movement all round. Guyhirn kept a tight back line which was difficult to break down but the girls kept fighting their way through for Amy Morris to notch the second with a fantastic pass from the wing from Abbey Goymour. 2-2 at half time, the girls knew the second half would be a struggle but they kept their heads up and carried on battling. Danielle Perkins & Hannah Sansom kept a strong defence but couldn’t avoid another goal from Guyhirn. Final score 2-3. Although this game was lost, the POSH Girls are a pleasure to watch, constantly improving individually & as a team. Outstanding performance!
