Sunday 7/1/07 Away to Westfield.

 

A grey damp midday kick off away to the current third place team Westfield, on a heavy pitch was the scene set for the Fry Club B team Girls first game of 2007.

 

The Fry Club girls started very well and after several missed opportunities and some excellent goal keeping from the Westfield keeper, Amy put Fry's deservedly 1-0 up after about 10mins.At this point the Fry's girls were dominate and Westfield were very much on the ropes. However against the run of play Westfield levelled the score to 1-1. Amy put the Fry Club girls back in front 5 mins later after some great passing football and again Fry's looked totally dominate! All the action was now in the Westfield half and it seemed only a mater of time until Fry's pushed further ahead, only football is a "funny game" as they say. With Fry's pushed up Westfield caught the Fry's Girls on the break and levelled the scores at 2-2 . At this point Westfield got a little more confident and the Fry's Girls dominance subsided as legs got tired and half time approached.

 

So at half time the score was 2-2 much against the run of play. With the introduction of some fresh legs in the second half it seemed a formality that the Fry Club Girls would finish Westfield Girls off and take the three points.

 

But football is a game of two halves and Westfield came out a different team in the second half and showed just why they are in the top three of the table. They matched the Fry Club Girls every move and the game was locked at 2-2 with chances being missed at both ends. With about three quarters of the game gone Westfield broke the dead lock and caught Fry's pushed up on the break to go ahead 3-2. The Fry's Girls were now reeling from what could have been, and to add insult to injury Westfield snatched another goal to make it 4-2 in their favour on the early blown full time whistle.

 

For the third time this year the player of the match was Emma who it has to be said was outstanding and just gave it her all ! Well done Emma.

Mentioned in dispatches this week are Amy for another fine performance, Alice for a great first half ,even though she has been poorly all week leading up to the game, Sophie who was a great second half substitute and Emily Tite for a great hard working first half. Well done girls!
