.... Smashed it!!!

Havant 0-3 Yateley

Under blistering conditions, our 11 red warriors went to work. Bruised from previous battles and hungry for a third win, the girls rocked up in Havant wearing controversial red.

The first half was a close run affair with only one goal separating the teams. It was a blinder from Jen CG’s reverse stick and despite a short break for Caz to stop seeing stars, they soldiered on and went into half time feeling positive.

After a switch of ends, the team maintained the pressure with a chorus of “eyes down”. A fast break with some scintillating short sharp passes resulted in a rebound stunner from Becks to put them 2 up.

Keen to keep a clean sheet, Kate was gobby throughout and exerted her dominance in goal. Both Gemma and Lizzie took some tumbles in bid thwart Havant’s attempts to break the Yateley defensive line.

Persistent pressure led to the award of Yateley’s first short corner of the match, and an outstanding strike from Frances shot straight inside the right post.

In conclusion, Yateley ladies 1’s had a storming win against Havant 2’s and go into the season unbeaten.
