Great Win for 9 Ladies Verses Barton
Posted by Steve Bavington on 26 October 2018
Saturday 13th October: Ladies 1st - Barton 0 - 2 West Brom
West Brom Ladies went to Barton with only 9 players. We then lost the coin toss and had to attack against the wind. We soaked up the early pressure that Barton threw at us. We managed to get the ball up to Lucy our only attacker who went on a fabulous run beating several of Barton players, and got into the circle and scored.
Back to defending again to keep Barton at bay. We managed to win a free hit well into Barton's half. From the free hit we managed to win a short corner. The only one we had of the game. From this short corner Lucy took a shot from the top of the circle and it went in. West Brom went into the break 2-0 up.
Second half Barton come out all guns blazing some excellent defence from our midfielders and defenders kept Barton out. Some saves from our keeper Shell kept Barton at bay. We only had a few chances second half as it was all hands on deck defending. Some great defensive play all round and defensive tackles kept Barton out.
We won 2-0.
An amazing effort by our 9 players who dug deep to get our first points of the season and to get us off the bottom of the table. The opposition voted Lucy player of the match.
