It was an even encounter between two teams who played the game in a fantastic spirit. The South Reading A ladies secured a narrow 1–0 victory, setting the tone for the evening.

⚽ Game 2 — South Reading A vs South Reading B
Game 2 saw our two South Reading Ladies teams face each other, with the usual friendly but competitive in-house rivalry there for all to see!
Tyra played in goal for the B team for the first time and made some fine early saves as the B team came under pressure from the A team.
Eventually, that pressure told, with Toni opening the scoring before Hannah added two more to complete a 3–0 victory for South Reading A.
But take nothing away from our B team ladies, who fought hard throughout. Clare worked tirelessly and tested A team keeper Sandie on a number of occasions.
A great competitive game between our own ladies, played with plenty of determination and good spirit. 💚💛⚽
⚽ Game 3 — South Reading B vs Basingstoke Waspettes
Game 3 saw our South Reading Ladies B team take on the Basingstoke Waspettes.
The B team came out on top in another close-fought and lively encounter.
The Waspettes created some excellent chances through some very good build-up play, but they were unable to find the back of the net thanks to some fine defending from our B team ladies.
Eventually, Clare opened the scoring with a fantastic finish, hitting the roof of the net from just outside the area after some strong shielding of the ball.
Tyra then added a second with a calm finish to settle the game at 2–0 in favour of South Reading B.
A brilliant performance from the B team and another game played in great spirit. 💚💛⚽

The fourth and final game was an 8-a-side match, giving players from both sides one final run-out, with a mixture of our South Reading A and B ladies taking on the Waspettes.
The South Reading combined side came away with a 2–0 victory.
Toni opened the scoring, before the highlight of the game came with a fantastic second goal from Elena.
After some excellent build-up play, the ball was played out from defence towards the right side of the pitch. Hannah delivered a lovely cross into Elena, who finished with a clean right-footed strike low into the right corner of the net.
A fantastic finish from a very much improving player. Well done, Elena! 👏⚽
The final score was 2–0, bringing a fantastic evening of walking football to a close.
Most importantly, all four matches were played in a wonderful spirit of friendliness, respect and sportsmanship between South Reading Ladies and the Basingstoke Waspettes.
