The
Windham Youth Soccer U9 girls’ team played against the U9 Kennebunk girls at
Gambo Field in Windham on Sunday, May 5.
As soon
as the whistle blew, Windham was off to a great start and scored within the
first few seconds. Then they scored again shortly after that. Windham had
strong teamwork and excellent communication. They had powerful defense with the
U9 Windham girls keeping the ball away from the Windham half of the field.
There
were several nice blocks and stops by Windham’s keeper. Kennebunk did manage to
get one through the posts, but Windham didn’t let Kennebunk score many goals
during the game. Windham’s U9 girls showed great skill on the field. They were
moving the ball around nicely and passing well to each other. Windham kicked it
into high gear toward the end of the first half. The U9 Windham girls scored
three goals; one after another after another, showing unlimited teamwork.
At the
half: 5-1, Windham
Windham’s
U9 girls didn’t slow down in the second half; their consistent offense and
defense did not waiver. Windham’s keeper kept up the quick hands, blocking
several shots and only allowing Kennebunk to score one time for the remainder
of the game. Windham had great hustle throughout the entire game and the score
reflected that. Windham put two more goals in before the final whistle and with
less than two minutes left on the clock, the Windham U9 girls scored a final
time.
Final
score: 8-2, Windham
“We
work a lot on discipline and holding their positions, so they’re aware where
they need to be when the ball comes to them. Also, passing and holding
positions is allowing us to do a good job,” commented coaches Ken Clark and
Jason Bowie.
