LTD JAGUARS 0 - BRENTWOOD 7. 18/01/09. - Hard luck Jaguars!
Hopes were high after the last few games that we could at least get a draw from this 'top of the table' clash. But despite the Jaguars normal persistence and gutsy performance, it wasn't to be. A combination of a clutch of missing Jaguars players, a quick couple of early goals from the opposition and Brentwood being on top form resulted in a disappointing result.
Adi showed her usual brave goalkeeping prowess with some magnificent saves over the course of the game, and Channan, Danielle and Jade all kept the opposition busy. Everyone gave their all, but ultimately, the best team won.
Still a lot, lot better than the last time we met Brentwood - even without the full team turnout, the Jaguars improvement over the last few months is immense!
Hard luck girls - lets be up for the away leg and show them what you are really made of!

11/01/09. LTD JAGUARS 2 - HALSTEAD 0
LTD JAGUARS 2 - HALSTEAD 0. 11/01/09 - Undefeated at home!
The supporters had hardly enough time to set up their seats and get their wooly-mitts on before they were jumping around and cheering as the Jaguars opened the scoring within the first 2 minutes of the Kick-off. A great strike by Danielle rocketed into the net after some fine supply football by the rest of the team. The first half soon settled into a good tussle between the two sides with the Jaguars having more goal mouth chances on balance. Great runs from Courtney and Ellis kept the pressure up, with Kerry, Danielle and Jade causing loads of problems up front.
By the second half the Jaguars took control, impenetrable defensive play from Ali, Channan, Jamie and Sarah kept the opposition from causing any real danger. The two 'Laurens' both had a solid game with some good running and accurate passing rewarded with a great run at the Halstead defence from Jade and a second, well deserved, goal. The rest of the game was a story of near misses, with great attempts at goal from Fleur, Kelly, Jade and Kerry ('miss of the season') resulting in shoots wide after some well worked chances. Paige had a cracking shot parried over the bar by the Halsteads keeper with a great save. It could have been 5-0 or 6-0. Adi, again, didn't have much too do, which is a sign of the way the game turned out.
Channan showed some great play and determination and Captained from the front. Apart from a couple of brave runs resulting in injuries (Kelly and Courtney) the game was relatively incident free, a professional attitude from both teams resulted in an entertaining game to watch and another 3 points for the Jaguars - Well done girls!
