This Match against
Cadbury Heath was the Fry Club B Girls last game of the 06/07 season and with
seventh spot in the League Table secured, the game was more down to pride and
finishing the season with a good all around team performance than anything
else.
It has to be said that
the Cadbury Heath pitch was in truly awful condition and was on the small side!
The weather didn't help matters much either as the wind was blowing a gale
directly down the pitch from goal mouth to goal mouth!
The Fry Club Girls won
the toss and thus elected to play into the wind in the first half.
Cadbury Heath were
straight on the attack and passing the ball around brightly, this sadly lead to
them taking the lead almost immediately by one goal to nil!
The Fry Club B Girls
counter attacked straight away and both Amy and Steph came close to levelling
the scores, but the Cadbury Heath Goal Keeper was on top form and kept them at
bay! The game at this stage was very evenly matched and an end to end affair, but
Amy had other ideas and smashed a low climbing ball into the Cadbury Heath net!
bringing the scores level at 1-1.
Cadbury Heath lost their
edge and the Fry Girls started to dominate, however the first half ended with
the scores level at one apiece.
With the strong wind
behind the Fry's Girls for the second half it seemed only a matter of time
until they would take the lead and go on to win the game. The Fry Club Girls
quite simply blockaded the Cadbury Heath penalty area but with every Cadbury
Heath player behind the ball on this very small pitch it was hard to break them
down. Emily Tite was then changed for Sophie in the Fry's
midfield. Still Fry's kept on shooting but Cadbury Heath held on!
Amy then received a knock
and had to come off , so
Cadbury Heath having
survived this long started to gain in confidence and mounted a couple of
attacks of their own! This led to the return of Amy up
front for the Fry Club Girls and the departure of
A couple of golden
opportunities to finish Cadbury Heath off went wide and over the bar in the
last couple of minutes, so the Final result of the Final game of the 06/07
Season was a draw 1-1 !
So with a seventh place
in the table 28 points and a goal difference of -3, it was a great comeback for
a young new side that played some great hard fought football to get their
season back on track!
So player of the match
for the last game goes to, in no particular order, Amy, Steph, Alice, Emily
Dean, Emily Tite, Emma, Sophie, Charlotte and Danni. Yes all of you Fry
Club "B" 06/07 players very well done!!
