WLSHC 1s vs Howard's 2's @ Treforest - Match Report 28th Nov '15

Result: WSLHC 1s 4 - 1 Howards 2s

Despite the howling weather, a great result today, winning 4-1.

We started strong regardless the rains attempt to beat us down by maintaining possession, keeping a good level of enthusiasm and communication allowing us to build the game early on.

In their 25 Cath took it upon herself to drive around 4 players and fire a shot on goal, "boom" said the backboard! Shortly followed by a rebound quick pick from Lucy, finishing her goal by a reverse stick flick between the keeper and the post!
 
Often when the weather is less than ideal and a few goals in hand, we took the pressure off Howard's....this was a quick reminder to us we shouldn't have as they scored from a short corner leaving the half time score at 2-1.
 
A brief moment sheltered from the rain and fiery half time talk meant we came out in the second half #ready! Perhaps a little too #ready as we were throwing ourselves into tackles leading to a few stern whistle blows and a green card (you know who you were!)

A slightly less desired second half but none the less determination from the players was excellent, especially Sioned and Jess up the left channel.

We managed two more goals, one from Nia, a clean strong shot with an agile somersault finish, the other was Caths second goal, a mid air rebound off the keepers glove batted to the back of the net!

Well done to Liv for her MOTM nomination and thank you to the hardy supporters today for keeping the enthusiasm afloat in the drenched conditions!

MOTM: Liv Laxton
