A bit of fun for a Monday morning, Ilaria made her league debut 2 years ago today age 6. Kept a cleansheet in a win for her u9s team. Safe to say things have changed a little bit in that time. Thought it would be fun to see some of the other goalkeepers and goalkeeping parents pictures from the early days

League football finally back. New team and a new coach for Ilaria so nice to start with a cleansheet and a win, not the busiest morning but a couple of nice one v one blocks. Look forward to following everyone's updates now we are all back 💪🏼

A bit of a strange summer for Ilaria her current club hadn't really arranged any friendlies or tournaments, which meant she ended up appearing for a couple of other teams over the summer resulting in her decided she wanted to join one of them full time. So she is now looking forward to a new challenge, with a new team for the 2026/27 dropping back down into her own u9s category. She did sign off in style with her old club in their only tournament, keeping a cleansheet in the final, saving 2 of the 3 penalties in the shootout and then stepping up to score the winner.

Grassroots training but I'm wondering where the grass is 😂😂. It's times like this i wish I played on a pro pitch but I had a great session still

Guys, whats your thoughts on Congo's first goal? I was watching it last night in my local - and everyone blamed Pickford stating a goalkeeper should never be beaten at near post... The ball moves so fast now, we have all been in goal when a ball is hit that fast, you only hear it hit the back of the neck - you do not see the ball!!! Whats your thoughts on this?
