Week 23: L1s run out of caffeine

WH&E L1 1 : 2 Ashford L1

The ladies 1s started their Saturday with a very early meet time to make the journey to Ashford by 9am! Despite the very early start, we were very awake and ready for the game. Probably due to the amount of coffee drunk!

We started strong and full of positivity. The first half was very even, including some great attacks and fantastic teamwork in defence including Charlotte Ellingham saving a goal off the line in a short corner and Chris making some vital saves!

The second half continued much the same but unfortunately Ashford managed to sneak a goal past our defence! Our heads still held high, we didn’t give up and our backline continued to hold strong including another save off the goal line, this time by Talyssa Mensah! A quick turn around by us saw us put the pressure on up front and after the third rebound from the Ashford keeper we managed to get the ball past her to hit the backboard! A definite team effort but claimed by Caroline!

Ashford came back strong and luckily for us they had a goal disallowed! Two minutes before the final whistle Ashford managed to slip past us to score again. Battling until that final whistle went, we never gave up but could not quite manage the score another goal! A well fought game by all and the effort again is most definitely not reflected in the final result!

Scoreline ended in a 2-1 loss!

MOTM was Chris Putt well deserved as she made some fantastic saves to keep us in the battle!

DOTD was unanimously given to Sarah E-Q for thinking she was kitted to play, then realising she was missing her Astros and stick!
