12/01/25 - Round Four of Birmingham County WF League.

Fresh from an excellent training session during the week, for the first time we were able to name a full 10 player squad this season.
The first half of the League season up to December was not as we would have wanted in terms of results, but what we have seen is steady improvement in performance levels and much less 'fear' and 'respect for the opposition' being displayed, which has pleased our Head Coach immensely!
The games, particularly the one against Birmingham Whites (who had steam-rollered us 3-0 in the first game of the season) and Arden Greens would give us a good idea of how far we had come since September.
Birmingham are a very good side and had lost just once all season, but Long Eaton were in control for the majority of the game and were certainly not over-awed at any stage.
A thoroughly engaging contest was settled in our favour 2-0 with two fine goals. The first a clever individual goal from Kate Davis-Hill and this was followed up by an excellent bit of combination play between Kate and Dee Harvey, with the latter racing away (metaphorically speaking!) to score.
Whilst the goals are (obviously) important, this was a team display with EVERYONE contributing, which is what the Coach demands.
Anna West, yet another from our production line of 'new' players made her debut and made a great impression.
We were straight back on to play Arden Green who we had beaten 2-1 pre-Xmas. A number of changes were made to give everyone game time and we had the better of the play without managing to land a killer blow, though we created/forced a good number of openings.
Another enjoyable game to watch. Credit to both teams.
Both games were well controlled by referee Simon Dyer. No complaints there and good to see a referee taking a genuine interest in the game.
So, that's now four games undefeated after taking just one point from the first four games of the season and the 'buzz' in the camp is noticeable.
Long, long way to go to where we want to be, but the good signs are there.

Squad: Claire Morroll, Maz White, Di Magro, Rach Straw, Kate Davis-Hill, Dee Harvey, Anna West, Clare Edgar, Karen Gill, Mandy Middlecote.
