Ladies' 1sts lose to Wisbech Ladies 2

The South Ladies 1s turned out in the slanting sunlight at the University pitch against a Wisbech 2s team who had had very mixed results over the season. The game was hard fought with a tendency for us to return to our pattern of play earlier in the season: South spent protracted periods of time in the attacking half but failing to score. That was in large part to an experienced, solid Wisbech defensive line whose players doggedly and skillfully guarded their D without conceding fouls so that South never really looked at risk of scoring. The Wisbech goal came from a short corner in the first half and was swept in off the rebound, sneaking behind Ali's pads after she'd made a great initial save.

 

South's strong points were great domination in attack and mostly in defence but the game was marred by South dissent about umpriring causing much bad feeling. The team need to work to be more positive on the pitch and creative and hardworking in evading the strong defenders who we inevitably meet at this level. Anne Horan was awarded man of the match for a great game at centre back, keeping a close hold on her player and distributing the ball with great insight to set up new attacks.
