Friendly v Hamble 2s at home

Ladies, what a game! After frantically scrambling to pull a team together for our first friendly of the season, 11 keen players turned up (some more on time than others...) to face Hamble 2s bright and early this morning. The game started spectacularly, with 3 goals scored by Fareham very quickly indeed! We kept our cool, and attacked again and again, with some gorgeous runs and passes up the right between the Ward sisters. The team worked wonderfully together (we really looked as if we'd played together forever, let's keep that up!) with support players always present, and lovely quick passes made to get around Hamble players. We completely dominated the match, with goalie Julie not touching the ball at all in the first half. We had plenty of opportunities to try and get a goal in and this reflected well in the final score. Fair play to Hamble though - their goalie was injured in the first half, but a replacement stepped up and kept quite a few of our shots out of the goal. We didn't let this deter us, and played pin ball at times in an attempt to get the ball in the back of the goal.
Special mention goes to the 2 flying players, Niamh and Zoe - excellent and spectacular falls from you both.
Well done everyone for not letting our early goals go to our heads, and playing a really cool and calm match. I'm told it was fantastic to watch too (not sure how though, as we were all red faced and dripping with sweat from the heat of the sun!). Thanks also to all the girls who volunteered to double up for us this morning, you're all lifesavers. If there is anyone else who's not yet made me aware of availability or keenness to play coming up, please do say. As we come up to the start of the season it would be fantastic to have a sub or two on the side so we don't run out of steam.
Thanks also to Jo our lovely umpire, and Emma and Linda in the kitchen for the most delicious post match teas.

No MoM or DoD this week, as it's only a friendly - though perhaps honourable mention to the Hamble team who abandoned the pitch to a man when their goalie got injured to stop play and get a replacement on. It's an interesting tactic...
