Match report:

Ladies 3’s vs Berkhamstead 2’s

It was a fashionable start to the game, with Sharon and Lauren sporting new socks and Tara wearing new trainers.

The change in kit seemed to make an impact in the backline holding off any potential attacks in the first 15 or so mins.

Berkhamstead took the lead through a whipped in pass which was deflected up over the keepers shoulder.

The play was mostly being conducted in the middle of the field with few chances coming for either side. Despite this evenly paced battle Berkhamstead doubled their lead when a keeper save went straight to their striker who used the post to squeeze the ball in.

A tactical discussion at half time meant Brox started the second half much more composed, negating anything Berkhamstead tried. A magnificent team effort culminating in brilliant work from Charlotte in the D laying the ball off to Kelly who struck a wicked strike, halfing the lead.

We continued to press for the equalizer, holding our lines well, giving them no chance to break, and making some lovely runs up the pitch and playing the ball into the danger zone. Hannah made most of these runs, at one point going so fast she managed to pass to herself! (this was after almost pulling a muscle in the warm up practicing short corners).

Our best efforts came to no avail and we didn’t get the equalizer we deserved. 2-1 final score. We go again next week against top of the table St Albans.

A special mention to man of the match Tara who covered all positions in the backline and at one point was in the opposition half, and to the Chapmans our umpires, both donkey winners. Michelle for preferring to watch the Winter Olympics and for Josh who fell fail of the trip hazard….“air”.
