First thanks to Marj for stepping in and taking the whistle when our umpire was delayed and to Sim for keeping at the battle with her car issues to make it there for quarter 2!
Throughout there was great intensity given how long it is since we had a match and there were glimpses of the teamwork that has allowed us to put extended pressure on opposition
defences. Sadly we also turned over a lot of ball needlessly but lets put it down to being ring rusty and move on the next week.
We got an opener in the first half when Lauren skipped away from defenders in her usual nippy fashion but failed to capitalise on a number of corners and other chances . That said I think they didn't really penetrate our circle until well into the 2nd half with the defence all mopping up loose stuff very effectively. Eventually we actually got some structure in the follow up at a corner and Gail finished from close range to make it 2-0 in the end.
