We travelled away this weekend to play a somewhat new-look Knole Park team. As usual we like to challenge ourselves in the 3s & we went with the bare 11. We should have all had whatever Juliette had for lunch because she was on fire all game!! We had bouts of great play, good triangles & good transfers particularly. Although we made a few breaks, we also did more then our fair share of defending. A string of short corners needing to be kept out which our back line solidly defended. A Penalty flick was even awarded to the oppo, but this didn't phase Juliette who ensured we went into half time still very equal at 0-0.
The second half was unfortunately a different game. The moon was out, the floodlights were in full beam & it began to rain heavily! We scored our first goal this season, of which was a beautifully created team goal. It all started with Heather running down the right wing, passing it onto Anna who made a wonderful cross to Beth who was calm infront of goal to slot it home. The oppo scored 3x goals, none were as beautifully crafted as ours but its a numbers game so sadly we lost 3-1.
Coaches POTM Juliette for multiple terrific saves including a P flick.
Coaches TFC Julie for falling most ungracefully in the D during a tense moment of defending.
