Clean sheet for the Reds

Despite beating Beecholme 7-3 earlier this season, it proved to be a much closer fixture. Beecholme started stronger and put our defence under intense pressure all through the first-half, but we stood firm, dealing with everything thrown at us superbly. Despite threatening on the counter, Beecholme would have been the more frustrated to go in level at half-time. In the second-half, we stepped up our game, pressing Beecholme back and deservedly took the lead through Teyla as she fired home after chasing down a long ball. A stressful twenty minutes followed, but our defence once again dealt with everything thrown at them before Lydia fired home a cross to seal the victory at the end.

It was a fantastic performance all round, delivering a hard-fought victory and our first clean sheet of the season.

GOM - Lydia. She was fantastic on the left wing, working hard and leading the team by example.
Honourable mentions - Claudia (Ran the defence superbly in Phoebe's absence, barely putting a foot wrong all game), Jess (One of her best performances of the season, Beecholme rarely got past her down the right), Teyla (A fantastic second-half performance, thoroughly deserving of her goal)
