Despite facing a tough opponent and grappling with injuries within our squad, our team showcased unwavering dedication on the field today.
The pre-match nerves were high coming off the back of a winning streak, with Amelia finally getting her shin pads last minute and Annie briefly misplacing her stick thinking she left it in the changing rooms.
Throughout the match, every player exhibited relentless effort, executing numerous tackles and diligently marking their opponents. Despite creating multiple goal-scoring opportunities in the first half, we were unable to get around the opposing keeper, leaving the scoreline at 0-0.
With sheer determination in the second half we poured everything into the game, and finally, Vicki delivered a moment of brilliance, slotting in a remarkable goal past the opposing keeper. although we were all excited we remained focused and composed, wary of Canterbury's potential to score an equaliser.
Vicky managed to receive a green card alongside a player from Canterbury. Player of the Match went to sally and Wanni for their all around skills and tackles. DOD went to Evie for being worried about her shin pads and hockey glove causing fake tan lines for her party later in the day. Overall, well worked for the team and a well deserved win.
