Ladies 3s: 12th September

First pre-season game for the new Ladies 3s team. We turned out with a new Captain, a new goalie (Eleanor Austin), 2 new players up from the 4s (Ella Pizzey & Izzy Richardson), 1 new club player (Jo Ross), 1 returning player (Georgie McKenna), and 1 we said goodbye to last season (Hannah Richardson) who was a total superstar and played for us for one last time after alrady playing the 2s game, to ensure we at least had 1 sub!

Was a tough game from the offset with the first goal being scored not long after the whistle went. But that did not dampen our spirits and we battled on in the 21'c heat. The 1st half was a little srappy as the team tried to get back in to the swing of things after not playing together since March, and by the 2nd half you could see a huge improvement despite the captain forgetting to hand round the half time pick me ups! Lots of action in the game with our new player Jo learning the early break rule only too well after being sent to the half way line twice in her debut game :-( and lots of scuffles with the Blue Herts CF who didn't really seem to understand the word 'friendly'! But the ladies 3s kept their cool and played on in true 'posh' (as Mr Wing would say) style. Unfortunately the game ended with another two goals, but the team can hold their heads high with everyone giving their 100%.

Man of the match went to Georgie McKenna - well done! :-)
