Essex Open 11Blues 4 – 7 Essex Wanderer’s Ruby
Really tough game for the girls today against a good side, and the cold, wet conditions didn’t make things any easier. First time the Blues has had to play in weather like that, and it definitely challenged our footwork, passing accuracy, and overall flow of the game. Still, the blues pushed right through to the final whistle.

It may have been our first defeat of the season, but there is a lot to take pride in. Our defensive unit worked incredibly hard—great pressure over the ball, tight marking, and some brilliant intercepts. Shooting end showed composure too, with tricky conditions.

Moving forward, we’ll be focusing on showing more aggression and drive toward the ball—attacking those loose passes, contesting strongly through the midcourt, and giving ourselves better options in attack. Stronger leads, quicker resets, and more confidence feeding into the circle will take us up another level.

The effort, and teamwork were all there today. Super proud of how the girls kept fighting. We learn from it, we build on it, and we come back stronger next match.
