May 11th Bob LLoyd Tournament
Bronze medal for girlsThe morning at Llanfirfechan was glorious, but the hot conditions made it difficult for all the teams. The girls played very well with a 0-0 opening draw against Mochdre Jaguars and then a very narrow 1-0 defeat against the eventual winners Bethel, this could have been so differnet as we had a shot right at the end scrape past their post which would have given us as point. a 2-0 loss to Llanfairfechan put us into the play off places against the Mochdre Jaguars again. As before neither side could score and the game went to penalties. Some great penalties from both sides saw the scores even after the first 5 and then still level throughout sudden death after all the squads had taken them! back to the first 5 again and unfortunatley Mochdre secured the victory. A really good team performance from all the girls throughout the tournament, well done.

Glan Conwy 1 v 1 Mochdre Jaguars (scorer Saffron Bestman)A full squad and a much better performance against a team that had beaten llanfair 6-1 a few weeks ago! Despite going a goal down the girls didnt panic and scored an equaliser in the second half with Saffrons first goal.This picked them up and although Anna made a great save we looked the most likely to get a winner.Overall though a fair result, and a good performance

Glan Conwy 0 v 4 LlanfairfechanMissing two key players and playing on a muddy pitch the game was always going to be difficult against a well established Llanfairfechan side. The girls played well and the score was not really a true picture as we rather gave away a couple of goals. It did however mean more of a game for our younger girls and a first game for Alex, which all adds to their experience with a view to next year.

Colwyn Bay 2 v 1 Glan Conwy(Lauren Baxter)A result that does not do justice to the best display from the U12s all season. We dominated the game for long periods but could not find the finish in front of goal on a muddy pitch. With Colwyn Bay having an excellent quick striker they took the result, but the effort and quality of play from our girls was superb. All 8 girls listened and played to their positions. Control was overall very good and we always tried to play football and combine passes even on the difficult surface. Our equaliser followed a great solo run out of defence by Anna on the left beating several players before her shot was parried by the keeper. Lauren kept her cool and controlled the ball well before firing into the net, her second goal in as many games (we do of course now expect this every time!). Dont be disappointed by the result (these things happen) but you should all be pleased with your performances and we can look forward positively to future games-WELL DONE.

Mochdre Jaguars 1 v 1 Glan Conwy (Lauren Baxter)The first goal of the season for the U12s and their first point was a fitting reward for lost of hard work on a very muddy and slippy pitch at Mochdre. The girls were very unlucky to concede a first half goal after having so many chances themselves. However they stuck to their task in the second half and an excellent finish from Lauren gave them the draw. In a closely fought match the girls had several opportunities but the mud proved difficult to get a clean strike on the ball in front of goal. A superb run in the second half from Amy nearly produced a goal but a draw was probably a fitting result. Again a great effort from the whole team with the full squad of 12 girls turning up. Well done to Amy Boswell, Lauren Elgin and Lauren Baxter on their first game for the club and to ALL 12 girls for a great team effort- Lets keep it up for the rest of the season.

Llanfairfechan 2 v 0 Glan ConwyA much improved performance from the U12 girls against a strong Llanfair team. We were 2-0 down at half time but put up an excellent second half display keeping the score the same at full time. The girls were much more aware of their positions and kept working hard all through the game. Well played everyone.
Sunday 11th November
Glan Conwy 0 v 5 BethelThe first game for the U12a and the first ever match for many of the girls unfortunately saw them against a team who have been together for a while and are probably one of the strongest u12s in the league. The girls kept things tight for most of the first half but couldnt keep Bethel at bay. They nearly scored the goal they deserved when first georgia and then Anna had shots scrambled away by the bethel defence. A good first game together despite the result
