The game started well with plenty of chances for both teams to
take the lead but at half time none had been converted and the score
was 0 -0. In the second half the 3rd team started the stronger
and within 5 minutes of the restart the young forwards caught the
older legs of the 4th team out and Kelly Shore made it 1 – 0.
Stunned by the quick start the 4th team suddenly sprang into
action and worked a number of moves mainly down the middle, where
the ball was picked up by Viv Hudson, her cross was fired past
Andrea by Justina Maddock to make the score 1 – 1, game on!
More end to end play ensued and another attack from the 4th team
resulted in a penalty corner. Viv Hudson played the ball to
Debbie Mole whose shot was well saved by Andrea. In the
scramble that followed Andrea, who thought at one point Hilary was
one of her own players and was telling her to move out of her way,
ended up on the floor. Having made it back to her feet
she was unable to withstand the duffing up and Hilary slotted
the ball into the back of the goal. Hope your bruise goes down
soon Andrea!
The 3rd team came back again with some good play by Beks Evans and
Kelly Shore. Ceire McManee had a number of changes but was unable to
convert any of them.
It was an excellent game as both teams are well matched. Two more
goals from Viv Hudson and Nat Sutherland made it 4 – 1, a score line
that didn’t really reflect how close the game actually was.
Well done everyone.
Player of the match for the 3rd team was Kelly Shore
