Match Report

Today we played Bishop Auckland Development Ladies at home in the Subsidiary Cup. With a few injuries and players missing due to work commitments we knew today would be a tough game and the hot weather didn't help with the lack of bodies either. Regardless of the facts against us we started the game excellently and within 4 minutes of play we'd netted our first goal. It was a tremendous goal created and score by the talented Murray. This set us up for the game and the next half hour of play saw us bombard at Bishop's goal. Their keeper pulled off some brilliant saves as well as their defence getting in the way of many of our shots denying us our second goal.

Finally, in the 28th minute of the half Murray played a superb ball over the top of the Bishop defence towards hardworking striking partner Fairbairn who made a great and well timed run, won the ball and fired it straight past the Bishop keeper. The girls worked hard for the remaining minutes to and were highly unfortunate to of not hit the net a number of times. Bishop worked hard and had certainly improved as a team since last time we played them and were strong on their counter attacks with a lot of pace in their side. In the 41st minute they won the ball in the middle of the park and managed to slip the ball past us. We went into the half with a 2-1 lead and we knew the next goal was crucial. We were playing good football but in the final third we just struggled to hit that net.

The second half saw the team be a lot more comfortable on the ball and really use the wings excellently creating chance after chance and winning lots of corners but still with no reward of a goal. A quick swap of positions between two players seemed to be just what we needed and within minutes of this switch we scored. It was hardworking Armstrong who once again made a terrific run down the wing with the ball and crossed it in finding skilful Montgomery who sent the ball crashing past the Bishop keeper. This set off a chain reaction seeing both Armstrong and Murray hit the back of the net within two minutes of this goal putting us ahead 5-1.

The game ended 5-1 to us seeing us finally come alive in the final 10 minutes of play.

Player of the match today was awarded to hard working and skilful player Murray who was brilliant for the entire match winning almost every tackle she went in for and completely dominating play.

Overall, a tough game for the team in terms of positions missing but they continued to work hard of the entire game and that massively paid off. Well done Girls.
