A derby and cup win, it doesn’t get much better than that. 3s first win of season and it was sweet indeed, with Ruby Kalms first game in the dugout it was a composed performance from all our players during a cold night at Coombe. In the early moments there was a through ball that slipped passed our back line and the goal was in the back of the net and we were 1-0 down. That was the last time they managed to get in behind for the night following a fantastic defensive performance from Eleanor and Bita which meant that we were defensively sound.
Bristol pushed forward with many close chances from Bea and Marita. It was only a matter of time until we had our equaliser from Marita and the score was even. Bristol continued to push for a second time with a great ball from Millie who was running box to box. She successfully played Marita in who buried the ball in the back of the net. The half continued with a great defensive shape with Emily Wilford and Devi holding a strong back line giving the foundations for another goal from Marita. To make it a first half hat trick, Marita sat down the defender and smacked the ball into the corner.
The second half was also strong and Bristol continued to play with a great shape. A shoutout has to go to Georgia who continued to make penetrating runs and was a nightmare to mark. There was also a great chance with Bea running through but the keeper managed to smother the opportunity. 10 minutes into the second half Marita continued where she left off, scoring her fourth goal of the game as she chipped the ball over the keeper. The rest of the match consisted of waves after waves of attacks from Bristol with Divya and Maya having shots on goal which were unfortunately saved by the keeper. It was a wonderful night at Coombe under gaffer Ruby and captain Hollie.
