This was to be the Warriors sternest test so far. Our super goalie Fi had dislocated her finger (get well soon – we need you!), Meg W took her Bacup and Ross exam and then rushed to make the second half and two girls had been on a tiring PGL holiday week..
Manchester City arrived equipped with arrogant Managers, partisan parents, fancy
warm-up routines and there own reporter! Not the most sporting of teams we have played.
The first half was an onslaught from Man City. Hannah (our stand in goalie) made some heroic saves to keep the score to only 5 – 0 at half time. With a scoreline like this at half time most teams would have given up, but not our Warriors. The second half erupted into action with some bone breaking tackles from Megan F, Emily and Bronya. The Warriors were not going to lose without a fight. Super Soph made some unbelievable saves.
Anna was a rock in defence. Meg W was inspired and stood strong on every tackle. Bronya covered every blade of grass, tackling like a demon and making runs forward where possible. Emily, Megan and Hannah started to gel and made some superb passing movements. A pass from Megan and a superb though ball by Emily to Hannah who clinically finished in style to silence the Man City crowd.
Another stunning run by Megan was stopped with a foul just before she was to score. Penalty. Emilys shot saved by there goalie.
The game was now more of a battle and our Warriors proved they could match the more physical City side.
Final score 8 – 1 to City. The second half saw the proper Warriors but today it was too late. Man City --- We’ll be back…..
Opposition Player of Match went to Megan F and our Player of the Match went to Hannah.
