Ladies 3rd’s (8) vs. (0) Wakefield 5th’s
A rearranged fixture saw the ladies 3 dig out the red kit (most had them washed and in a draw waiting – some chose to leave them in their kit bag since last wear!) and head to Wakefield’s prestigious blue pitch. All fired up and ready to take another 3 points in Justine’s drive for promotion (a possible reason for her to take 3 parking spaces as well) Slaz were strong from the off. A penalty corner in the first few minutes put Maisie onto the score sheet and Slaz ahead.
Quick passing proved the way forward and the ball was soon back up to Wakefield’s D for Jus to set up Caro for her first of the day. Richtea monitored Wakefield’s defensive corner routine, pointing out the weak spots – leading to a well executed routine, a left slip from Minch allowing Caro to pass the goalie for her second and Slaz’s 3rd shortly after. Mia (back on WhatsApp and form) made the tally 4 by half time after a fantastic long ball from Minch.
Knowing that Wakefield would likely come back stronger in the second half – after a few attacks on the slaz goal, Lauren/Lilly preserving a clean sheet, Slaz again dominated play, proving that the ball can do the work. Further goals from Caro (hatrick) Evie, and Maisie sealed the win. MVP went to Caro for her hattrick, tart to the captain for amazing parking skills. Oh….Final mention to Stacey who might’ve scored at some point too. (Was it a shot or a pass – it was a goal so it doesn’t matter). Final score 8:0 🥳
