𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝟏𝟑𝐓𝐇 – 𝐔𝐍𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐊𝐘 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄!

The last time we played on Friday the 13th, we came away with a win, so we were hoping history would repeat itself! 🤞

We made the trek to Perth with a smaller squad than usual, but we still had our solid core ready to go.

We started fast, strong and full of confidence. It was a pretty evenly matched game until a Jeanfield corner found its way into the back of our net with a header. 1-0, and we had some chasing to do.

Heads didn't drop, but unfortunately another one followed. We rattled a little and struggled to switch back on, and before we knew it, the third was in.

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐧, 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦! 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐭! 💪⚽

We regrouped, got back into shape and started finding our feet again. Then came a moment of quality football – some beautiful passing play put the ball at Ciara's feet, and she didn't hesitate! Straight into the net! ⚽🙌 3-1!

The half-time whistle came at just the right time, and we knew we hadn't travelled all that way just to give up. A quick team talk, a bit of encouragement and back out we went!

The second half saw us push and push. We created multiple chances and really started putting the pressure on. We could see the frustration creeping into the opposition, but we weren't about to let that get into our heads.

Then came a pitch invader and a wee distraction (you couldn't make it up! 😂), and unfortunately we let our guard down just long enough for another goal to sneak in.

But did we give up? Absolutely not!

We kept fighting, working for each other and playing as a team right until the final whistle. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be this time, and the game finished 4-1.

The scoreline might not have gone our way, but there were plenty of positives to take from that performance, especially the fight, determination and chances created in the second half.

👏 𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐃𝐎𝐍𝐄, 𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐌! Keep your heads up, take the positives, learn from the rest and move on together.

On to the next one! ⚽
