Initially Blackheath struggled with Old Williamsonians having majority of the possession however that didn’t last long as we began pushing back against them fighting for the ball evenly matching the opposition. During the first half we managed to get a few opportunities and shots on goal but no one was able to get the final touch on the ball into the goal. Defence were working hard to keep the ball out of the D and shut down any chances they had, especially with tackles from Alex and Stan - whilst in attack there were great leads and balls played in.
Blackheath managed to win a few short corners in the first half but didn’t managed to break through their defence. Old Williamsonians also had a few chances winning short corners as well but were also not able to score. We ended the first half in their 23 when the half time whistle went. Half time score was 0-0.
The second half began with Blackheath looking a lot more aggressive in attack, pushing the opposition back after switching to a full press. Blackheath had a few chances on goal including Vicky finally getting the ball over the line but it was disallowed as the whistle went for a short corner as the shot was taken. We then managed to get a goal from Emily by flicking it over both the keeper and an opposition’s player who used her hand to clear the ball at one point during the battle to get the ball cross the line.
A green card for Emily after a stick tackle from behind. After the green card’s time ran out we began to fight once again trying to get another but Old Williamsonians managed to get a break and score by flicking it and after hitting Marnie’s stick went above Kyveli’s head. After restarting, a fair challenge from Alice resulted in an injury on the oppositions team. We battled until the end trying to get another goal but did not succeed. Blackheath played very well and the score line did not reflect the way we played.
DOD - Emily
POM - Alex
Final score 1-1
