Match report – 25 Sept 2005 – home versus Wootton Bassett

Last week saw the ladies play their first league match against Wootton Bassett – a game which gave us an introduction to open age ladies football.

Our opponents arrived with a depleted squad some of which were carrying injuries, and this gave us a good opportunity to play football and relax into the league, however we made hard work of proceedings, missing several scoring opportunities and a penalty, only going into the half time break with a lead of 2 – 1.  The second half  was much improved as the team settled into the game and we came out  4 – 1 winners with two goals from Cassie Powell, one from Sophie Dobson and an own goal.

This was a great start to the season and hopefully we can build on this for our next match against Clevedon in a weeks time.
