A new Phoenix rises

This is just a quick note to record that this morning my youngest daughter made her debut for the Phoenix City under 12s football team (also known as “The Firecrackers”). She played in defence which is not her normal position, made plenty of tackles and blocks and helped her side to a 4-2 victory over Activate. Phoenix were always in front (1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, 3-2, 4-2) but it was very nervy when the scoreline was 3-2 and the whole game turned in one second half minute when the Phoenix goalie made a great double save, the ball went up the other end and Phoenix scored at the second attempt to re-gain their two-goal cushion. I’ve added a link over on the right to the club website and, just for good measure, here it is also)
