Match Report

Opening the double header by welcoming Driffield to Slaz on Saturday, the Ladies 4s got off to a great start with Alys Kaushiva finding the backboard on the rebound from a saved short corner in the first 15 minutes, however the advantage was short lived as only 1 minute later Driffield equalised. In the 20th minute Charlotte Young scored on the  reverse or maybe using back stick…who knows? The controversial 3rd goal of the game rattled Driffield who struggled to compose themselves. However, in the 40th minute they managed to get an equaliser and seemed to be the stronger side against a tiring Slaz team. It wasn’t until the 55th minute that Slaz managed to tie together their next meaningful attack with a shot from the top of the D from Abigail Stewart saved by Driffield’s keeper, the clearance was picked up Gemma Wroe who hit the post with her first shot on goal but managed to find the back of the net on the 2nd attempt. Slaz’s lead was once again short-lived with Driffield managing to bring the scores level once more. The last 5 minutes of the game was tense, but motivated by the crowd on the sidelines Slaz managed to secure the lead for the final time with Alys Kaushiva chipping the ball over the Driffield keeper who was laid covering the entire goal line. Ladies 4s walked away with a 4-3 victory.

Match Report

Ladies 4s were away at Driffield. Slazenger showed some great improvement from previous games; passing the ball through the field, keeping possession for longer spells and creating numerous goal scoring opportunities (just weren’t able to convert enough of them). Driffield struggled to work the ball up the pitch so had to resort to sending the long ball through to their high centre forward who managed to score with every shot on goal.

Slazengers showed grit coming back from behind twice to level the game with goals from Gemma Wroe and Alys Kaushiva, but unfortunately some questionable umpiring meant Sarah Sykes and Gemma Wroe were carded, leaving Slazengers with only 9 players on the pitch against Driffield 11. Driffield managed to take advantage of the situation and scored the winning goal.

Well done to Alys on being player of the match for her work rate.
