Close.... but no cigar..

Yateley 2-2 Aldershot & Farnham

The ladies 2's went out hard and strong this week, with a very welcomed return (for one weekend only at the moment), Lizzie.

We warmed up well in the windy bitter conditions, and went on fully charged up for a win. The oppo just rocked up, got their sticks out, so perhaps lulled us into a false sense of security.

The first half was fairly even, and everyone worked hard to keep possession and get their eyes down. This paid off for the 2's, as a well worked (definitely text book style) attack saw Janette slotting the 1st firmly into the back of the net, after Hattie slipped it to her from the base line!

Yateley continued to push up with many aggressive attacks into the D, with Ruth and Kealey creating some peachy chances, but we couldn't convert to a goal...

The defence held strong as always, but we eventually managed to get hit on the break to make it 1-1.

Some fine defending was on show by Kate, Abi, Dobbers, Alice and Hils making sure we didn't go down a goal.

Alana, Clara and Jules worked tirelessly to distribute the ball to the forwards and made some lovely runs down the wings.

Eventually we won a short corner and Lizze said 'thank you very much' and smashed it into the back of the net, taking us to 2-1.

We fought and fought to keep the lead, but they somehow managed to get another cheeky one before the final whistle went.... Gutted!!!!!

MOM - Abi (again)

DOD - Dobbers (for being Dobbers)
