Match Report
Slazenger 2s were looking to improve on recent performances. They had first push back and started the game dominating play with sustained pressure on the Adel defence. It was Captain Naomi Frith who scored after only 5minutes to take the lead. Adel didn't give up and closed down players quickly, as well as attacking through different channels. Goal keeper Erin Haigh made some crucial saves, and not long later Maisie Davis scored at 13 minutes, and again at 16, playing with confidence.
Adel's attempts to attack saw them be awarded a penalty corner, which they converted, taking the teams into half time at 3-1 in Slazenger favour. The second half started with Adel wanting to swing the momentum their way, but the solid Slazenger defence held up. Half way through the second half Slazenger attacked in force, seeing the forward line linking up beautifully, and in a move started by Louise Haigh, Maisie found her 3rd goal of the game.
The final score was 4-1 to Slazenger with player of the match going to Natalie Beech for her exceptional work in defence.
