The development squad travelled to Barnsley today for their second game of the season. After a strong performance last week, we were eager to show what we could do.
During the first half, the ladies showed great will and enthusiasm which helped us progress up the field and create opportunities. Unfortunately, during the first half no chance was put to rest. Barnsley managed to slot one away just before half time.
The town ladies didn’t stop there. The second half, we came out fighting for the win. With fast movements and extended pressure, our number 10 Katie Paling, who is sponsored by Sheffield Student Homes, managed to create an open chance from a wonderfully taken corner. Leanne Temperton, who is sponsored by Stepping Stones Financial Planning LLP, headed in a rocket which got us our first goal and making the game level. This was the boost we needed! Not long after Katie Paling was on the attack again, slotting another corner into our youngest player on the squad, Olivia Brady, who is available to sponsor, tucked away our second goal. Just before the full time whistle, a mistake from the Barnsley keeper left Rayanne Haywood, who is sponsored by Ray inks and Watoto Pre-School, unmarked and in possession. Cool, calm and collected, she got us our final goal, ending the game with a 3-1 victory.
We thank our sponsors Drummond Street Artist and Manor House as well as all individual player sponsors for supporting us!
