WHAT A RESULT!! 🤩 🤩 🤩
After a 9-2 defeat on the opening day of the season, our first team travelled to league leaders Weston Super Mare this afternoon, and became the first team to take points off of them this season, with a brilliant and well fought 1-1 draw! 🔥 🙌
We started well, but went 1-0 down in the 12th minute after we failed to clear a free kick and Weston were able to head the ball into the back of the net! Despite the early set back, the girls dug in and grew into the game as the half went on - with a number of brilliant challenges from the back 5, and some solid passing to create attacks of our own! We had a couple of chances to get back into the game before half time after some excellent free kick deliveries from both wings from Alisha Stuart, but were unable to get the finishing touch! ⚽️
We came out fighting in the second half, and although Weston saw more of the ball and created a lot of chances, we held them off well. All our defenders made lots of crucial tackles and blocks, and keeper Quinny made a couple of key saves, which meant we were able to keep the score to 1-0 for most of the second half, which continued to frustrate the hosts! 👊
Our biggest chance of the game came with around 10 minutes to go, when Alisha Stuart put in a superb corner delivery, which was headed in at the back post by centre back Georgia Vause, who got her second goal in 2 games and levelled the game! 🤩
Weston tried to fight back during the final few minutes, creating more chances, especially from set pieces, and with almost the last kick of the game, a headed effort following a corner was brilliantly saved off the line by keeper Quinny to preserve the point! 🧤
Every single one of the girls were brilliant today, and our efforts were rewarded with a well deserved point! 🔥 So many positives to take, especially given the difference in result from just 4 weeks ago!
An amazing result, and lots of momentum to take into our home fixture against Whitchurch next weekend, which will be another tough game! Thank you to all who came to support! 🙌
UP THE PAULTON! ⚒️ ❤️
