A hard-fought game ended in a 1–1 draw, with the whole team putting in a fantastic shift from start to finish.
After going 1–0 behind after 10 mins, the team showed great character by bouncing back quickly, with Lexi not giving there defenders anytime to think- pounced on a block from a 16 to make it 1-1 after 17 mins.
There was great work on the wings from Jennah and Vic and our midfield trio of Phillipa, Amelia & Monica; who took a ball to the leg like a champ after some great defending from a 16 to regain possession back. Angelika making some excellent saves from a couple of Telford short corners late in the half to keep it at 1-1.
In the second half Finchfield still refusing to let let Telford through and with Lexi and Meg working well together to keep threatening Telford defence. Towards the end of the game great defensive work from Holly, Carol and Sophie Jones as Telford put us under at lot of pressure in the last 10 minutes.
The team worked tirelessly for one another, battled for every ball from the 1st minute to the 70th minute. The quick response with the equaliser was a great reflection of the team’s resilience and fighting spirit for the whole 70 minutes the team knew they had their work cut out against a young Telford side.
A special shout out to Holly on her first green card!
A brilliant team performance, showing resilience, determination and real togetherness from everyone.
Final score: 1–1. A performance to be proud of! ??
