Bicester started with a strong push back and made their way up the pitch. There were some brilliant breaks by Nicky, Bekah and Isla (Ditz- a few full body tackles that led to some ninja diving) in midfield to work the ball up into the Abingdon defensive half. Unluckily for Bicester, Abingdon were hot on the ball and reversed the attack. They managed to win a short. After Jenny in goal was battered to the ground by the Abingdon forwards Bicester had a switch in goalies. Becky Cottrell (captains player) stepped in and also made some fantastic saves. At half time the score was 3-0 to Abingdon perhaps due to some unlucky decisions made against us. Our club captain Charlie in the second half scored an absolute screamer into the top net with an assist from Isla. Some brilliant running and silky skills from the midfielders and forwards, including our vice captain Kelly, who continuously fought for any stray balls. In the second half Bicester managed to only concede 1 goal and score one goal with only 11 players. There were many defensive shorts for Bicester, our wonderful defenders managed to fantastically keep them at bay with some cracking saves from Ames, Hollie and Kate (dame of the game).
Great running, communication and hard work from all. Well done ladies! :)
