📰 01.10.23 MATCH DAY REPORT 📰
🟢 First Team: FA Cup Day for our First Team and a comfortable 5-1 victory sees us progress to the next round. The first half of the game was not our best as we struggled to convert chances and link up in the final third. We kept solid at the back throughout the game and this was our base to build our attacks through the midfield. Chloe Mark, who was on fire, scored our first with a 25 yard rocket over the Bishop keeper. A carbon copy shot from Chloe then hit the bar, bounced in the six yard area and was tapped in by the on rushing Kayla for her 4th goal of the season. (2-0 HT)
The second half performance was much more positive, we began to take control of the game in possession and created plenty of chances. Another shot from outside the box from Chloe got us the third and a fourth followed soon after from Jess, who found space in the box and slotted past the Bishop keeper. Bishop nicked one with around 15 to go and we finished off the scoring from Hannah, who was a monster in middle winning everything in the air. Hannah picked up the ball in the middle, dribbled past two Bishop defenders and found herself in the right hand side of the box to then rifle a shot into the top corner to round off our win.

🟡 23s Team: Frustrating afternoon for the U23’. A 1-0 loss in a game where we had a lot of possession, but just could not find that final pass in and around our opponents box. The defence was resolutely led by POTM Ellie, giving away very little. The midfield battled for everything, Captain Casey was at the heart of everything positive going forward. The game lacked a bit of flow, but we looked to play where we could, even when chasing the game in the latter stages we looked to pass and didn’t resort to long ball hoofery.
Disappointing scoreline, we can play better, but there is no complaints with the attitude and application on show today.
