Match Report – Roving Reporter Maz

Frantic start!
Quick early take of long by Blockely saw a pass to Tinny who found the back of the net! 1-0

Seeing some great through balls today .
Great pressure in D from LizzyG who wins a short. And another. Pass around to Blockley but too high. More pressure from BAC keeps it up the Dev’s end. LizzyG strikes again, cutting out the pass, more attacking for BAC. Devs make a break for it, Devs attack, Sarah saves, they win a short. Nothing comes of it.

Lifted free hit from Blockley clears everyone and finds Red who slips to Tinny, shoot, save, refocuses and lifts over the keeper. 2-0

Sledge picks up a rebound in the middle and makes a super run, passes to Tinny who made a relaxed reverse flick into the goal. Sacrificing power for accuracy. 3-0

Meanwhile, Sally has a go at ‘keep it uppy’. 
Lovely pass finds Red right up high, wins a long.
Back at us and Sarah saves a high shot.
Alaina wins a good defensive free hit. BAC absorbing some pressure.
Kingers make a run, great cross but no one to connect.
Sally pushes up the sideline. Tinny comes close against 3 in the D, attack continues. Tinny picks up another high free hit, comes close again.
Ceri wins a short on the end of the half. A couple of passes then Tinny takes a shot and scores. 
First half. 4-0

Second Half 

Dev press hard early on and slip one pass Sarah 🙁

4-1 (the rest of us take no responsibility for this at all, not even Sally who made it super hard for Sarah to do her job).
BAC press back, Blockley into the D to Red. Kingers wins back. Lazy G (best ever autocorrect) gets involved again.
Devs get a player sent off for not being 5, Tinny wins a short from a free hit mish-mash at the top Of the D. 
Sledger now off for not being 5, but Cher is working it from the back corner. 

Red wins in the middle, a free hit sees Red get a shot on, but its saved.

Sledge gets an early shot after sprinting on after her enforced rest, a pass from LizzyG finds Tinny who is dispossessed by defence. Alaina clears then battles two.

Devs get a shot, but it’s a tiny bit wide.

Sally, LizzyG and Sledge do some nice passing uo to Red who shoots, but it’s saved.

Then a reverse lazy lob into back of net from Tinny. 5-1

Sledger steals the ball at the edge of our D – bit like taking your ball back home when others want to play! Great passing up the left. Ball in by Blockley just missed by Sledge. Cheryl LBW   just outside the D. Devs win a short. Sally wins clearing from the D. 

Kingers gets hacked, then some good pressure from LizzyG, Tinny wins short.

Cheryl is up in the attacking D from a long. Great passing in the D between Sledge and Red

Pass up to Tinny in the D cross to Red who tips it just wide. Kingers through to Tinny, wins free hit. Good passing up the left, LizzyG drives into D, Red wins another short, the pass across to Kingers who taps it wide. Great composure from Alaina in the D wins a free hit to clear.

End score 5-1
