It was a lovely sunny day with a pleasant breeze and not too humid for the girls at the 'Friendship Valley Elementary Ground'. The teams were playing on grass, a cooler surface than Gerstell. The U14s were much improved from Monday and Rose scored 2 magnificent goals set up a third one. Other notable performances from Aoife - who had a particualry spectacular run down the field.The U16s defended magnificently, playing well together and happy to have Faye on goal. they had some good opportunities to push forward and then Lucy did really well scoring all 4 Timperley goals.
The Boys played against CMD (Central Maryland) the same dat at the Cranberry Station Ground.
Facing the U14's in the second match of the tour were CMD (CentralMaryland) who, according to our scouts, posed a rather more dauntingprospect than the strong Wax team of a few days ago, yet buoyed withconfidence, the U14's were eager to maintain momentum, none more so than Coaches Glyn, Ray and Bruce.
Although this was a hard fought battle against a very organised CMD -that were strong in defence and penetrative up front - the U14'salways looked resilient at the back and dangerous up front. With bothteams pitting their wits against each other, Timperley drew firstblood with a couple of early goals, only to be pegged back by abattling CMD who were only one goal shy at half time.
Issued with their instructions, the tourers heeded the coaches adviceand started to see a little daylight in the second half with somepatient build up play not to mention the two imaginative goals scoredfollowing a great steals and a fast breaks. The game ultimately ended4-9 in favour of the tourists making it so far two out of two for theU14's thanks in no small part to the inspirational intervention of one of our older colleagues.
