Solihull Moors played host to another round of girls' and boys' (open) football league fixtures last night and both Greswold teams were in action.
On a bitterly cold night, the boys' team were first up against a very tough Tidbury Green side. This was the boys' first match of the season but you wouldn't have guessed it as each player acquitted themselves brilliantly to come together as a very focused and committed team.
Even when they went a goal down, they showed real determination, eventually running out 3-2 winners with goals from Adam (2) and Gino. A really impressive performance to kick off their season. Well done boys.
The girls played an hour later against an impressive Knowle team. After winning their first two games of the season, the girls knew this was going to be a much harder task. At times, the girls had to withstand a great deal of pressure and with some fine saves from Ellie-Mai in goal and some last-ditch blocks from the defence, the half time score was only 1-0 to Knowle.
Greswold did have chances themselves with both Hooriyah and Jess going very close but, in the end, Knowle scored another to make the final score 2-0. Like the boys, another performance, full of determination, something which the girls can be very proud of as they continue their season on the 9th December at Old Silhillians with two matches against Valley and Dicken's Heath.
The boys' next match is 4th December back at Solihull Moors again, this time against Monkspath.
