An away game to Tyne met was shared with the A Team, a different experience to say the least, with their choice of conversation and music. After dropping them off we finally arrived at our 3G pitch with only 11 players, again no goalkeeper. We started the game 4-5-1 with Kate as the lone striker and Tanisha starting the game in goal. The first 9 minutes we saw what we were up against with their striker getting two goals but we carried on fighting with some good attacking play. However, Amber jumped infront of a shot and with the rebound of her leg flying back hitting Kelsey in the face we were down to 10 whilst she recovered and also asked if her teeth were still in. The game continued and with a powerful strike from one of their players Tanisha after making a great save hurt her wrist and is now out for 3 weeks after going to hospital. Another injury. The list is now longer than our actual squad.
Emma offered to go in goal and at this point the score was probably 5-0. Then goals 6, 7, 8 came just before half-time. The whistle blew and whilst we were down to 10 players the team were still having a laugh.
There were some good opportunities for attacking play for QE but with no outcome, the second half did prove extremely difficult but Beth and Eleisha offering to go in goal and some good saves from Beth we struggled on. All the team played very well due to the circumstances and the final score could have been more if we didn't go in for tackles and close the ball down.
Goals 9,
10,
11,
12,
13,
14,
15,
16
and finally 17 followed.
This proved a short match report due to the final score, however I would like to thank the girls for still going on even when we were getting beat. The haribos will be back for next weeks game. Get well soon Tanisha and I hope Gary had fun at hospital for the second week running.
Woman of the match is still pending.
