QE Girls Vs Sunderland College

Great performance from the team today. We had a great turn out despite the awful weather and the extremely boggy pitch. Sunderland were a tough opponent but with a solid team effort we were able to come out on top. The first half started off strong, with several attempts on goal we came so close to opening the score sheet with some great attacking play from Lauren, Nicole and Charlotte. The half finished at 0-0. With some inspiring words from Mr Hogg at half time we entered the prepared to take the game to them. Playing with the wind against us we were unable to keep out a great shot from Sunderland going down 1-0. Heads didn’t go down, and with a great save to keep us in the game from Raven the team was even more determined not to lose.  The game was level after a great free kick straight in the top corner from Maddy.  With a solid performance in midfield from Amber and in defence from Beth the team was able to prevent a number of opportunities from Sunderland keeping the game very tight. As the ball was played forward to Helen on up front the team stood and watched as she stood a yard from an open goal and measured up her shot after taking time to have a good look and confusing everyone else on the pitch as to what was going on Helen placed the ball in the back of the net putting QE 2-1 up. The team didn’t stop there, with a great ball forward to Lauren who was able to strongly challenge the keeper for the ball pushing the ball past the keeper making the final score 3-1 to QE. Great efforts from everyone today, WELL DONE!!
