Squad - Danielle (GK), Ellie, Katie, Fenella, Georgia, Rose, Holly, Helenne, Mahala
>
> Cheltenham girls U11 played in the U12 January tournament
> We decided to play with all u11 as we usually borrow two from the u12 to make us stronger but as our squad has got bigger since Xmas I think it's only fair that everyone gets a chance at this level.
>
> Our first match was against Cirencester B - We played a different system today, with having a sweeper at the back, Fenella, and having Ellie & Katie, as the other two defenders, having the freedom to run up and down the wings. This worked out really well & we had all the play but just couldn't put the ball in the net!
> Result 0-0
>
> 2nd match was against Glos B
> Still keeping to the new system yet again we had all the play and this time we managed to score 2 goals, by one of our new members, Helene, with great support from Rose feeding the ball into the D.
> Result Win 2-0
>
> 3rd match against Chelt Cougars
> This was a tough match as we were playing our own club. The girls worked their socks off but we conceded our first goal of the tournament.
> Result Lost 1-0
>
> 4th match E.G 2nds
> There is no doubt that E.G had entered two very strong u12 teams, usually one of their teams is made up of u11 but not this time!
> We battled very hard with Georgie battling away in midfield and Holly up front trying to get any chance to score and Mahala keeping them away in defence.
> Result 0-0
>
> 5th match Swindon
> This was our last match and we have never played Swindon before, yet again the girls gave 100%. Swindon were quite strong and scored a very good goal against us. They had other chances but Danielle made some fantastic saves that kept us in the match.
> Then Rose went down the other end to score a very good goal.
> Result 1-1
>
> U11 should be very proud of themselves as they are competing against teams of mostly u12 players, with maybe a few u11.
>
> Man of the match
> Helene for two very good goals.
