SHC3s opened with guns blazing

SHC3s opened with guns blazing in the scorching heat and put the 4s under a lot of pressure. It wasn't until the middle of the first half that the pressure paid off when Caroline Lumsdon found the net from open play after some neat passing work around the 4s defence. A second goal came in the first half when the ball was stopped on the line by a foot not belonging to Andrea, the keeper. A penalty was awarded and Sam Piggin put it away. Score at half time 2-0.

In the second half the pressure continued and despite Cristina and Emma pushing up to put pressure on the 3s defence the next goal to the 3s came from a short corner which was neatly passed to Sam and then on to Claire Lumson who put it away. The 4s turned the game around briefly putting Emma Higgs in a prime position to score from the right side of the D. She was shut down quickly and the ball went out of play. Final goal was put away by Sam in open play to bring the final score to 4-0 to SH3s.

The 3s put in an awesome team performance with neat 1-2-1 passing and 110% work rate from everyone.
