The lasses played their last 2 games of the season today and first team up were Sunderland City Juniors.
The lasses started strong and went out to try and get the first goal. Just before half time the ball fell to Lou who decided to open her body and take a shot which beat the City keeper. 1-0 and the nerves settled. The lasses went out to close the ball down from the restart, this time the ball fell to Di**le who took her chance to shoot making it 2-0.
2nd half the lasses were still on a high, few words of encouragement and they were off again, chances at both ends keeping both keepers busy.
Some good passing and creating space allowed the ball to find her way to Lou again and she bagged herself a 2nd goal in the game. Not long after this the lasses had their tails in the air and Casey joined in the goals making the final score 4-0.
Next up was Sunderland Velocity. Velocity fresh legs used again to try and keep the momentum going, perks of having a decent size squad. We managed to give the lasses a run for their money. Once settling into game a chance broke to Casey who managed to slot past the Velocity keeper.
The game was very back and forward with a few chances either side. Score staying 1-0 going into half time.
Quick break and a few fresh legs brought on to try and push through the Velocity defence. Chance came again for Casey and she grabbed herself a 2nd goal making it 2-0. Last few minutes in the game and Velocity win a corner, they managed to get it to the edge of the box and took an amazing shot which looked like it was creeping into far post, out of nowhere Stacey manages to get her foot down and make the block, Credit needs to be given for this as it secured the clean sheet at FT.
