Rutherford Ladies v Newton Aycliffe Women

Today we played our second league game of the 2018-2019 season at home to new team Newton Aycliffe Ladies who had a string on wins behind them. Newton were a strong team who were always a threat going forward.

The game started well for us seeing us have a load of chances at goal but with no reward. Their keeper was strong and pulled off some tremendous saves. Finally, after 23 minutes of play we managed to get the ball over the line with a terrific ball played in from Armstrong finished sublimely by Scott.

The score line quickly tallied up seeing Fairbairn and Scott score a goal each in the first half. The second half doubled the score line seeing Scott bag herself another well-earned brace and Robinson scoring a cracking header.

Once again as a team we played fantastic today. Our opponents battled hard for most of the game but began to give up in the closing minutes.

Player of the match today was awarded to Scott for her outstanding performance throughout 90 minutes of the game. She scored 4 fantastic goals and assisted another. She was just class from start to finish and never stopped working her socks off.

Another fantastic performance by the team seeing the girls gelling together and producing some outstanding display of football.

Well done Ladies!!
