L2s Stay Undefeated: A Poetic Match Report
By Tas Cookman
Ladies 2s 2 - 1 Slough L1
October 2nd: The 2s’ second game, despite the lack of tunes in the changing room we were ready to stay undefeated
The whistle blew and we were off, from the first few minutes we could tell this game was going to be heated
Some silky smooth skills for Gemma had her waltzing through the defence and of course she scored
Not long after Hannah sends an absolute rocket through the keeper, now it’s two on the scoreboard
The treacherous conditions stayed throughout the game, the only dry place was the penalty chair
I myself felt like I was at a traffic light, had both green and yellow pointed in the air
Surbiton had some promising breaks as we kept their half under fire
Some good passing from the team and more great defending, call them Harry Maguire
Started second half with some ambiguous umpiring, Slough were given a penalty flick
Score is 2-1, and the aggression from the opposition is still just as thick
Not long to go and Slough enter the circle, past the keeper, but guess who’s there to save the day
No other than Tamera with a beautiful save on the line – let them score? No way!
But of course in 2s fashion we had to make life hard…
Two minutes to go and we get not one but two yellow cards
Great saves from Tess and a sturdy defence meant we kept going
But finally the whistle blew and the undefeated 2s is ongoing!
