The South Ladies' 1s travelled into the foggy fens this week for a dominant performance against March Town 1s. The South team included some new faces and others playing out of position but the group gelled well. Strong passing play in the midfield kept South in possession of the ball and there were some strong attacks on the D. Goals were hard to come by though, not least because of the strength of March's experienced central defender who stole ball after ball from an increasingly frustrated front line. Once again, short corners were a weakness for South who had too many awarded to them to count, but no goals as a result. However, the reward came eventually when new player Kirsten scored stylishly with a first-touch strike to a rebounding ball from the edge of the circle.

There was always a risk the match could be lost by a sneaky goal from March so South entered the second half with renewed determination to nail the match. Breeshey, playing out of position at right back, dealt effectively with some dangerous breaks from March, using her attacker's skills to drive forward, taking the March defenders by surprise and threatening goal more than once in a performance that earned her the Man of the Match award. Most of the time, though, the play stayed well inside the opposition half, thanks much to Georgie and her ability to get in the way of almost any ball coming down the middle and Julie's equal efficiency on the left. Repeated efforts from AI, Lyn, Liles and Tash went unrewarded. The second goal of the match was a lesson in passing play with Liles sending a strong ball from the sideline to Georgie, who passed on into the circle for Kirsten to slot to Kendra for an efficient finish.

Another good performance from South, but frustration at the lack of goals given the time spent inside the opposition's 23. Loopy and Ellie got the Ice Maidens award after a quiet game at the back left them shivering while Georgie and Kirsten (we can't believe Keith kept her hidden so long) got well deserved votes for Man of the Match behind Breeshey.
