Gosport 0-13 Yateley

It was an overcast morning on Saturday 8th December and the Ladies 3s had a mission.....only one mission, to sparkle their way to victory! An army of santas took to the pitch; glitter cheeks, cold hands & warm hearts, we brought 'game faces' and took first push back.

Accurate passing moved the ball up the pitch. Caroline in her Santa hat swiftly passed the ball to Lauren who was in space ...she deflected into the D to Jax who score the first of her goal-stealing hat-trick.

More goals came from Caroline B (2), Laura from short corner strike (1), CJ (2), Chantal (3) to bring it to 9-0 at half time.

Positions were up for grabs in the second half as we mixed it up, with a target of getting Lauren on the score sheet for her last game before world travels. At the other end of the pitch Gill was battling the cold and found a fetal curl by the backboards was the best way to keep out the wintry winds.

Enough about the defence... there was SOOOOoo much more going on with the reds attack. Skippa Flippa scored a remarkable goal....navigating 3 or 4 defenders, Gosport's talented keeper, as well as goal-stealer, Jax, to make it 12-0. Chantal took the 5th tumble of the game as she literally fell over in amazement as Lauren found the back of the net (also, circum-navigating goal-stealer, Jax) to score her first for Yateley...Mission accomplished!

The Ladies 3s go into the Christmas break in 3rd place of a tight top 3 in the league, but with an AMAZING goal difference of 40, having scored 51 goals in 11 games. Roll on next half!

Player of the Match: goal-stealer Jax
DoD: Chantal...again!?

EDITORS NOTE: some editing was required from the team effort in blind-writing the match report, but the (tequila) spirit has been retained.
