Top of the league Gillingham had the look of certain victory about their gills as they warmed flamboyantly across the pitch. BEs took no notice and started the match with plenty of attack. Even after three goals had been despatched in opposition to BEs preferred goal, BEs did not do anything other than attack, hassle and irritate. Second half saw BEs rise to a new level, with shots on goal and a Gillingham increasingly perplexed by BEs impermeable defence of Nuli’s body parts, Rebecca’s tackles, Rosie’s pester power and Isla’s attack, chase and sprintability.
Player of the match went to Alexa for making many amazing saves, helping BEs to believe right up to the last whistle. Wally of the Match went to Nuli for giving all weather slip-ons a new meaning.
Final Score Blackheath 0-4.
