Ladies' 2nds earn a point away to Ely 2s

The ladies seconds travelled to Ely excited to play their first match of the season.....at last!!!

Loopy was busy this week keeping for the 2's as well as the 1's. Ellie (right back), Rhiannan (left back), Pip (centre back) and Tracey (sweeper) made up the back four behind captain Vicky (right mid), Ley (left mid), Sam (defensive mid) and Charlie (attacking centre mid). This weeks forwards were Lyn (left forward) and Kendra (right forward). Overall the game was evenly balanced. South passed well through the midfield and had plenty of attacking chances. There were some cracking crosses into the D and South came close to getting a stick to them. Unfortunately Ely managed to "badger" through our strong defence and slipped the ball past Loopy. Also, Ellie nearly ended up with a "cauliflower" ear from a stray high ball from an Ely player. However, South picked themselves up and the communication which had been strong in the start of the first half returned. Even though South's legs were getting tired this added team support made all the difference. South found a hole in Ely's defence and Ley fired the ball past the Ely keeper to earn the well deserved equaliser.

In a nutshell, the seconds played very well and it was an encouraging start to the season. Lets hope our determination to do well and continued hard work at training leads to a successful season for the 2's this year.
