| 26/09/2009 | Stockport 5s v Westleigh 1 | 2-2 |
Stockport 5th team this week welcomed newcomers Westleigh, an unknown quantity having just joined the GM league. It was pleasing to see that they had only brought 11 players and the immediate thought was we will wear them out! lol
Stockport started well and had an early opportunity which was well saved by the Westleigh keeper, soon after that the visitors broke away and after 20 minutes broke the deadlock, 1- 0. The Stockport defence were all of a sudden under pressure and 5 minutes later a resulting corner gave Westleigh a 2nd goal. Stockport fought back well with great play from Adele White in her new position on the right wing, pressure from the forwards Viv Hudson, Mea La Belle, Fiona Holland and Chloe Withers eventually paid of when we were awarded a short corner. The ball was played out to Hilary Clamp who played it square to Viv Hudson who unmarked coolly slotted the ball past the keeper, game on.
The 2nd half saw a more confident Stockport team pile on the pressure, Westleigh stepped up a gear and a great 2nd half ensued. It was end to end stuff and at last Stockport used the width of the pitch with Fiona and Adele carrying the ball up the wings. Finally we were rewarded with an equaliser, a move that Jackie would have been proud of. A loose ball was played out to Adele who after taking it down the right crossed the ball into the circle, shots from Mea and then Chloe were well saved by the keeper but Fiona’s shot was one too many and we were level. To say Westleigh were a little miffed to concede a 2nd goal would be an understatement and it was all out war! There followed an onslaught BUT we were not going to let them score another goal and having so very nearly scored ourselves on the break after Westleigh pushed for a winner we were happy with the draw.
Player of the day : Chloe Withers (well deserved)
