This was the first of three important games for the Wanderers, with them still in with a chance to win something this season. Flixton have been a tough opponent this season and our last meeting saw us win well.
With a full team the girls were confident, and started off well, but so did Flixton and they very quickly started to take control of the game, getting the first goal. We very quickly equalised from a corner, well finished by Izzie. But Wanderers not concentrating at the back saw another goal go in from Flixton. Jenny soon responded with a fantastically well struck goal from distance, (this becoming a trade mark goal from Jen). So 2-2 at half time, and a bit of sorting to do with the defence.
2nd half and we started positive again, passing well and getting the ball in front of goal, with some very near misses. But again we left the defence open, with not much help getting back to recover. This again was our downfall, and a 3rd goal went in. We battled hard for the rest of the game, with a couple of knocks along the way, Frankie getting some studs and Jenny clashing heads, luckily no real damage.
Some great work in goal 2nd half from Amy easily saved us from a bigger defeat, and Beth as usual covering almost every inch of the pitch.
My girl of the game went to Izzie and the opposition vote went to Jenny.
Hard luck this time, we have another meeting with Flixton coming up, so lets work hard next time and get a result.
