Ladies 6s vs Saffron Walden 4

Ladies 6s went out with a whole new team due to club availability with most only ever training together and not having played a match together.

The ladies got off to a great start applying pressure to the opposition, finding gaps in there midfield and running down the wing however were unable to find the back of the net due to some strong defending from the opposition. Saffron Walden were able to make a break through the middle and after some play at the top of the D managed to find a gap at our back post to slot home the 1st goal of the game.

2nd half the team re-grouped and a few new tactics were applied and off we went. We held position better and were letting the ball do the work. Again lots of attacking play but struggling to find a way past the keeper. Saffron Walden kept attacking when they could but were held off by the Bedford defence and a strong performance from Alma in goal.

Bedford were awarded a short corner, a pass out to Maddie Taylor at the top of the D who struck first time taking down the no1 runner from saffron Walden, umpire saw no reason to stop game as it was low and playing to the whistle Kat Presley slotted the ball past the keeper into the far post. 6 minutes left to play and Bedford went defensive however a pass out from the back Bedford saw an opportunity who got the ball up to charlotte Goodson who dribble to the by-line and crossed the ball across goal, keeper was able to get a sick to it and pushed it out however Mariella Pompa picked up at the top of the D went to her right and strike the ball up and over the keepers hand. Score 2-1. 2 minutes left and saffron Walden tried to attack however were kept away by a committed Bedford side.
