Slazengers started the game as they meant to go on and kept the ball in possession for most of the first half. 2 unlucky strikes by Ailish Hendry prevented Slazengers from scoring in the first half. Unfortunately Acomb took advantage of a break and scored once in open play then again from a short corner just before the half time whistle.
Second half was much better for Slazengers who prevented Acomb scoring again with some good defending from Julie Finch and great defensive play in the middle by Julie Bacon and Kerry Rolin. Slazengers worked as a team moving the ball up the pitch and scored their first goal from an open play shot be Fi Secker. Again Slazengers kept position of the ball and Helen Ramshaw scored from a short corner in the last 5 minutes of play.
A good result from Slazengers in their first game of the season. Player of the game went to Kerry Rolin who was by far the best player on the pitch.
