This friendly match had some fantastic football from both teams, with Railway running out comfortable winners in the end but again maybe the scoreline didnt quite reflect some great play from the Scorchers. Scorchers started the stronger but found themselves one nil down, however they were quick to get back in the game after strong running from Rosie set up Melissa who blasted a low drive past the keeper in to the net, topping a fine performance with girl of the game for the Scorchers goal. Daisy pulled off a number of good saves and was well supported with Philippa and Olivia who played well in defence. Imogen again ran herself in to the ground unlucky not to score on three occasions, her best chance coming off both posts!! Emily worked hard up front setting Melissa up with a number of good chances, before playing the second half in defence, where she made some brilliant attacking runs, being unlucky not to score. In the second half the first goal was crucial and Railway got it, putting the game out of reach, however the Scorchers didnt give in with Kayleigh hitting the bar, Shannon making some great runs and getting in shots at goal too. Rebecca played at left back making a number of vital interceptions. The game was played in fine spirit by both teams and well refereed by Roy who stepped in at the last minute.
