A solid start lead to a couple of penalty corners one of which was converted by a cheeky left post tap in by Emma Hulme. Both teams continued to press well. Another 10 mins and we conceded a penalty corner which was deftly deflected in by caradon to make it 1-1 at half time. After an awesome half time talk by Coach Kat Harris which pointed out our need to set up the press quicker and try to retain possession we felt motivated and energised for the second half. Our transfers around the back were working well to create space allowing Emma Carragher to run the ball up the wing to the attacking 25. Unfortunately we couldn't seem to get that penetration needed to create goal scoring opportunities. Our defense remained strong with some great tackles by Becky Goodwill and Sian Williams meant Caradon also did not get many more opportunities either. Final score 1-1. Fair result. Great team performance again with MOM being Emma Carragher.
