We're in the next round of the 3rd Division Cup

Salford Trinity were one player down and Stockport from the start were on the attack with Jodie Wynne on the left, Lucy Rowbottom on the right and Emma Woodhead and Laura “Mc Flurry” Woodhead down the middle. There was some great movement and passes through the midfield of Julie Griffiths, Dunners and Emily Smith to the forwards, with Laura unlucky not to get on the end of a cross from Lucy from the right wing. Eventually a cross got through resulting in a tap in for Jodie who was well positioned on the post, five minutes later Jodie had a second after some neat passes.
 
The defence of Sally Fort, Helen Elcock and Wendy Van Tonder soaked up any pressure and Angie Fuggle in goal had little to do except soak up the balmy November sun. Midway through the 2nd half Stockport won a short corner, after the initial shot was saved by Becky, the excellent Salford keeper, there was numerous shots and rebounds but with the keeper on the floor it was left to Jodie to drag and flick the ball into the net for first half hat-trick. Chole Withers playing her first match for the 2nd team, made some excellent runs down the right and was nearly on the end of a great pass from Emma.
 
From the start of the 2nd half, Salford Trinity stepped up the pace of the game, the Stockport defence were under pressure and Wendy was called upon to make some of her trade mark block tackles and Angie forced to make some kicks out of the circle.
 
Eventually the pressure told and Salford pulled a goal back to make it 3 -1. After some shrewd substitutions from Josie aka Sven on the side line (had to get my name in somehow!) Stockport gradually took control of the game, again Chole made some excellent runs down the right and worked well with Dunners, piling on the pressure on the Salford left back, resulting in a well deserved goal for Laura, who managed to get a shot under the Salford keeper. Salford still attacked but as the game drew to a close Laura McFlurry got her second. Final Score 5 -1.
 
Well done to everyone, in the draw for next round of the 3rd Division Cup.
