FALMOUTH UNITED GIRLS u12s 5

TRURO GIRLS u12s 5

FALMOUTH United girls u12s played two matches in December with the first match played in rain and cold winds.

United were without their goalkeeper, so Emma Snowdon and Charley Abraham both stepped in and played half a match each, then a half playing up front.

Both Emma and Charley made some good saves against the Truro side and Mabel Dolan, normally a defender, played in midfield and scored her first and well-deserved goal for United.

Each time United scored Truro replied with an equaliser.

It was a good game by both sides and United's Cara Kiszczuk notched a hat-trick and Robyn Instance added the other.

Player(s) of the match were Emma Snowdon and Charley Abraham.
