U14 Girls - Scotton 1 v Copmanthorpe 2

Another terrific nail biter of a game!!

The Scorchers started well and pressed forward at every opportunity, Copmanthorpe deefended resolutely, at times most players from both teams were in the penalty area but the goal wouldn't come. Then against the run of play Copmanthorpe were ahead!! The Scorchers kept their cool and kept playing some stylish football, but still the goal wouldnt arrive. Then from incisive running from player of the day the goal came, Abi G crossed from the left for Caroline to stab home the equaliser. The Scorchers continued to attack hitting the post (yes again!!) and as both teams tired with the clock ticking down Copmanthorpe hit a long range shot that beat Katherine (who was again outstanding) to take all three points. Another good performance from the whole team with Amelia making her debut the squad looks in good shape for an exciting season.
