Brandon Lasses Under 8's
Saturday 24th March 2007 Copleston SC 3 Brandon Lasses 3

Brandon Lasses under 8's travelled to Copleston SC for a very closely contended match. The Lasses started brightly and took the lead in the first minutes through Ellisse Masters. Brandon took the game to Copleston but found themselves against a very good home defence. As the half went on Copleston started to break and they scored two goals before half-time to give them the lead at the break.2-1

Brandon started brightly again for the second half with Lucy Paige battling well in mid-field and it wasn't long before Bethany Field broke free to equalise. Both sides were creating chance but it was the Lasses who regained the lead through Charley Curtis. Just as it was looking as if Brandon would hold on for the points Copleston broke and scored a deserved equaliser. f/t 3-3

This was the third match between these sides this season and credit must go to both sets of players who really starting to develop their football well!

Brandon were comprehensively beaten with a disappointing display. Brandon failed to gel despite recent promise. Seven goals by half time virtually killed the game. Brandon rallied in the second half and only let in two and also had chances of their own. Sophie Walker, Molly Wilson, and Shannon Odebrecht all giving 110% but to no avail. An excellent performance from Mimi Nolan the Brandon player of the match. Herons proved too strong in every position.

Brandon Lasses visited Copleston for the first of two meetings in so many weeks. Always a close contest the final score did not do justice to Brandon's overall greater share of the possession. The first half was scrappy with neither team really dominating. Brandon did let two goals through in the first half due to an inability to get the ball clear. Brandon did up their game in the second half but could not find a way through, usually snuffed out by shear numbers. A credit to the Copleston defence. Copleston were forced to hit on the break, their third goal worthy of note, a free kick just outside the box, hit sweetly into the top corner of the net. Harsh on Brandon for such a hard working but fruitless display, on a bright but cold afternoon.

Brandon Lasses visited Waveney Girls for the first of 2 meetings in subsequent weeks. If this game was anything to go by then Brandon will relish the return next week. Although eventually going down 3-0 with two first half goals and one in the second, Brandon had one of their better team performances of the season.

Strikes from Shannon Odebrecht and Molly Wilson both hit the woodwork in each half. Sophie Walker also hit the bar (England 66 world cup style) but the goal was not given. No Russian linesman on this occasion.

Harsh on Brandon for such an excellent display on a bright but cold afternoon.

Roll on Sunday, before the girls stop for the a well earned xmas break.

Brandon Lasses turned out in their new kit courtesy of Aztec Electrical.It spurned them on to their best performance of the season against a strong Waveney girls side.The game ebbed and flowed with few chances at either end. The first goal ultimately came from a break down the left and then a quick throw in which took the home side by surprise. Molly Loving had the best chance for Brandon but ran into a brick wall under a challenge from the Waveney keeper and a defender simultaneously. The second half continued as the first had left off. Waveney got their second from an excellent drive from the six yard box. An excellent performance by Jade Whybrow in goal kept Waveney at bay as she continues to improve in leaps and bounds.Molly Wilson in midfield made an excellent debut and Bianca Whitbred had an excellent day as captain. The whole Brandon team continue to improve and every game sees them closer to securing some points.

Having already lost heavily to Waveney early on in the season Brandon knew the difficulty of the task ahead, and set a bought damage limitation by employing a 4 0 2 formation from which to build. The odd mistake and a couple of scrambled goals was harsh on Brandon to be trailing 0-4 at half time. But to be fair Brandon's goal scoring opportunities were few and far between.

With the wind behind them in the second half and Brandon tiring the constant pounding of balls into the Brandon box could only mean one outcome. Waveney were camped in the Brandon half for long periods. But Brandon did have more goal scoring opportunities hitting Waveney on the break, but the Waveney defence were solid. Although U10 the Waveney team were a strong physical side and rarely lost possession.

An excellent game with the score line being generous to the visitors. Brandon can improve and the signs are there that they are moving in the right direction.

In their first league game the Lasses found themselves against a well organised Herons side. As Brandon struggled to clear their half, Waveney took full advantage. There was some good performances in the Brandon side but they must now develop into a team and look for improvement as the season goes on.
