East Grinstead 1s 0-2 Ladies' 2nd XI
35 minutes before this game pushed back, the Ladies 2s didn’t have a goalkeeper, and if we didn’t have a goalkeeper, we couldn’t play the game - in fact, it was so dire, Jac didn’t even have her astros.
20 minutes later, Kate had the GK kit on and was warming up, Jac had completed the dash home and returned with appropriate footwear, and we had a full team, with substitute, a nice new sparkly orange match ball, new first aid kit, completed league form and 3 supporters. Does it get any better? Well, actually it did.
Cressy scored! - out first goal of the season with our shiny new match ball.
As the game continued we maintained the momentum and scored a second before half time, with Beth touching the ball in from a shortie - nice work. Kate was having a quiet game so far - everyone happy.
The second half was tougher as EG fought back though we had several attacks, including Jackie hitting the post with a bullet of a shot - unlucky. Near the end of the game Gina was injured, but there was NO WAY she was leaving the pitch before the final whistle. Hope you’re back and playing again soon G.
Final Score 2 - 0. A good result and even more importantly the system worked and things are looking good for next week.
Special mention for Hannah in her first game for B+H - welcome to the team; to Emily, Tara and Hannah for bringing supporters, Kate for playing in goal and having prepared a full pre-match warm up and drills, to Cressy and Beth for putting the ball in the back of the net and everyone else for getting it up there, and for everyone for having all the right money for match fees.
