The Womens 4th Team faced the 5th Team in a pre -season friendly this weekend which started well for the 4's with Michelle Hughes netting the first goal and quickly adding a second. The 5th team however fought back and managed to reduce the deficit to just one at the break.
HT: 4's 2- 1 5's
The 4's came out fighting in the second half and netted a further 8 goals, 4 more from Michelle Hughes, two from Jemma Gard and a final goal for Andrea Barnes. The game allowed opportunities for the umpires to enforce the newly changed rules of the game with Jemma Gard being sent to the half way line twice due to an early encroachment from an over excitied Nicky Roach. The 4's created further chances but were unable to extend their lead hitting the post or shots being sent just wide of the goal. Incredible team effort by all involved!
FT: 4's 10 -2 5's
Player of the Match was awarded to Katie Allard for her fabulous runs in the midfield and special mention to Abbie Collins who played her first ever match and Jas Searle and Katie Allard who were welcome new additions to the team.
