Blackheath & Elthamians L2 3-1 Marden Russets

While Netty, was looking for the toilet roll, the game began. So I have no idea what happened in the first seven minutes but BEHC got off to a great start, 8 minutes into the game and a short corner was awarded. After an initial shot by Hannah, Karen fired the rebound into the netting.

After some great pressure from Emma another short corner was awarded. This time, Lucy injected, Vicky stopped the ball, Hannah passed to Karen who passed back to Hannah, who fired it into the net, a well rehearsed routine.

At half time BEHC were confident and hungry for more goals. Both teams had opportunities but after an attack by Marden, Zoe was forced to make a couple of crucial saves, this was followed up by a save off the line from Ali. The whistle blew and the umpire signalled for a hit out! But no, Marden starting celebrating a fake goal? The umpire seemed to change her mind and said the ball crossed the line. After a discussion with the other umpire a goal was awarded?

A little bit of panic set in, 'oh no, we've been here before' remember last week!? Fortunately Blackheath won the ball and passed to Karen who fired the ball into the D for Emma to get a deflection into the goal securing the win.

Note for next week: Jen bring the toilet roll and don't panic!

Final Score 3-1.
