I arrived just before half time, don't let the score fool you. The 2nds played some absolutely superb football this afternoon. The score was 1- 1 when I arrived, we went 1 - 0 down to a penalty, i'm not sure who scored our equaliser. But we were pressing and pressing hard, the Newent back four seemed at odds with each other just before half time, and it looked like Hayley and Katie were causing real problems. In the second half we played some fantastic passing football, young Katie hit a screamer to put us 2 - 1 up. We continued to play some fabulous passing football, Newent seemed to play some long ball type football that was causing us some problems at the back. The half wore on Newent's fitness seemed to take over and their tall number 10 in particular seemed to be able to split our back four at will with some good pace. At some point we lost Vicky, who was not feeling well, a reshuffle in defence saw Vik playing in unchartered territory as a centre half.
Newent were able to use their pace to good effect, and we lost the game 5 - 2.
There were huge pluses to take from this game, the passing, some really good defensive work, Sarah playing at left back had a huge game, Lana at centre half looked a quality player, Mel and Nat in midfield worked very hard, both putting in some excellent passing.
Not a good result, but an excellent performance.
