The 5s finally get their win!

We started strong right from the start, however Newbury fought back and soon had 2 short corner. Our defence cleared them well out of the D. And we transferred the ball up the pitch to get our own attacking short corner. We didn't manage to find the goal but kept pushing forward. Our defence then held strong against Newbury, with Jess W making some great tackles stopping Newbury's attack.

Helen then showed some great skills holding on to the balk and managing to pass it clear out of the defence, through 4 of the opposition!

Our hard work paid off and 25 mins in to the first half Emily passed a great ball into the D and Evie guided it into the goal.

Newbury push back hard and after a bad tackle one of their players got a green card. We took this opportunity to push forward with great passing between Hattie, Rebecca and Lydia. We finished the first half 1-nil up!

After a great team talk we went back out and started strong.
So did Newbury who managed to get 3 short corners in quick succession, unfortunately scoring off the first 2, but our defence on the 3rd ran out hard and managed to clear the ball, which was quickly taken up the pitch.

We stayed strong and after a great ball into the D by Helen, the ball managed to find its way into the goal, off of a Newbury player. Bringing us to an even 2 all.

Then Newbury made a bad tackle earning another green card and a flick for Emily, who the tackle has been made on. She kept her cool and made a brilliant flick, bribing us to 3:2 and our first win of the season.

A brilliant game and Emily won a very deserved man of the match!
Brilliant play all around and well done to Rebecca on her first game with us.
