Bognor Town 0-1 Ladies' 4th XI
Scorers: Jackie Dutit
Our 3rd game into the season and with another new line up we had a lot to prove as were yet to win a match.
We finally have a captain, Alexis, who unfortunately was not able to make this first game as captain this week, (you can make it up to us all later Alexis!)
After the initial kafuffle of them not bringing an umpire…thank you Mary Beth for coming to our rescue, we went into the game spirits high and spent most of the game in their half, frustratingly close to scoring on several occasions. The first half finished a few seconds early after their keeper was injured by a ball on the knee, not quite sure how it got there, to a 0-0 score.
After a quick turnaround we came back fighting and were rewarded with a goal scored by Jackie.
We managed to keep them at bay for the rest of the game, still trying and coming very close to scoring again, with minimal injuries (to us not them, it seems that a few of them were wearing targets for the ball and a very amusing moment where one of their players, and not the goalie, kicked the ball away on purpose in their own 25!), we got our first win of the season, (probably helped by the fact that Sally, bless her, was not there to try and score an own goal!).
I just pity the 5th XI who had to borrow shirts from us after our game!
We now hope there are many more wins where that one came from…Well done everyone!
