Focus on U16 Girls

Coached by Joe and managed by Sandy, the U16 girls team are finding their footing after moving up to Division 1 this year.  Last year our U16 Girls team were the Champion winning team of Division 2.

This year the team consists of  6 girls from last years team along with the return of two previous players who have come back to play with Holroyd.  6 new players came on board with a few of them having never played soccer before. 

Joe and Sandy are focusing on the girls enjoying themselves while improving their soccer skills.  The team have recently increased their training to twice a week and this paid off as the girls had a recent 1-1 draw.

Last weekend playing at home for the first time the Holroyd supporters were excited when the girls scored first and then went on to score another one to be 2 nil up.  Late in the game their opponents scored and Holroyd supporters were on tenterhooks.  At one point our goalie got her hand to a shot that was certainly going in and tipped it around the post.  The girls held on with a few more saves from their goalie and won their first game of the season 2-1 to the delight of parents and supporters.

Its good to see that all their hard work is paying off for the team.
