L2 2-1 Spalding Ladies 1
Different Spalding team with a fantastic keeper, some of the best umpiring we’ve had away this season.
Bit of a nervous and hesitant start, but had lots of chances just struggled to work out the keeper. Spalding capitalised on our lack of comms and went 1-0 up.
Emily B made a cracking run to be taken out by the keeper, head on helmet, no foul - ouch!!!
Started to find our groove with triangles and going back to basics all the way up the pitch! A shot my Emily B was saved on the line by a body then a foot - pflick! Jess stepped up to the mark, scored at the right height, goalie didn’t move an inch. Huge celebrations from the team as this marked her 150th goal!! 1-1 at half time.
Much more controlled in the 2nd half, better comms, stick to stick passing and using the switch! Great work from our forward line, outletted from the back to Soph to Rhi to Emily b to Jess who slotted home with a slap that lifted the ball over the keeper! 2-1!
We continued to put pressure on Spalding with a few close chances. Spalding got awarded a few shorts but our fab defence (Immy, Anna, Emily M, Rhian) kept them at bay.
In the last 5 minutes, we took control! Kept possession, taking our time or looking for a way to clear into space! Final score 2-1, happy girlies, 3 points, worth the journey!!!
Every forward and inner got bruised and battered by their centre back with that disguised pass (Nicola special) that found our feet very time, causing Cait to take 5 minutes off and Rhi to crawl on the ground.
Zoe was POM for making incredible saves including a 1:1 with Spaldings CF where she made about 5 saves in a row!!!
Lom went to Rhian for being a penguin causing a deliberate foul so got sent off for 2 mins and Izzy for turning up in Purple kit!
