Juniors vs Garforth - Cup game.
Tuesday, February 09 at 22:16:35 |
Game on Saturday Idle Juniors vs Garforth - Cup game.
Guiseley came with high expectations this set the scene for a cracker game with both teams wanting to win.
Within minutes Guiseley scored with a long shot, Idle responded with attack after attack and eventually Broady with a determined run from Midfield equalled the score.
Idle kept the pressure on with Guiseley counter attacking.
The girls giving 100% effort and the game being so tight and evenly matched Roger couldn’t make any substitutes knowing this would upset the format of game.
Idle increased the pressure on Guiseley and got a throw in – Katie Bennett’s long throw into the goal area , caused a panic and Guiseley’s defence under pressure caused an own goal giving Idle 2-1 up.
In the second half Guiseley were playing down hill and tried to take advantage of this but Idle held strong.
With a rare mistake in defence Guiseley’s centre forward got through on goal and made it 2-2.
Both teams had chances to win the game but Idle had the best chances.
At the final whistle the score was level and with extra time the game didn’t alter.
The commitment and determination put in by the players on the pitch was also shown by the substitutes.
After extra time the scores were still even. This left it for a penalty shootout- the 5 girls were picked.
The atmosphere and tension was high. Guiseley went first and scored.
Guiseley had taken 3 penalties and scored one goal.
We had taken two and missed. Then Katie Webster came on full of confidence and scored!
This really gave the team a boost. Guiseley missed another 2 after that.
Idle missed another one and it was left to Chloe Broady to win the game. She scored a fantastic final goal and this gave us the winning score.
There was no Girl of the Match award this week as everyone played outstanding.
Next round Semi-Finals.
