Wight Eagles Ladies 2 - 3 Alton Ladies
02 MAR 2025
Our 1sts returned from the Isle of Wight with a hard-fought 3-2 win over Wight Eagles.
The game was goalless until five minutes before half-time when we took the lead through some determined play from Ania who pressured the home defence into a mistake before cooly finishing past the keeper.
The ladies started brightly in the second half, going 2-0 up thanks to a sensational solo goal from Teyla. A contender for our goal of the season?
Wight Eagles made it 2-1 from a corner but we got our two goal lead back when excellent work by Caitlin forced an own goal midway through the half.
Another Wight Eagles goal made it a slightly nervous finish but the ladies stayed strong to pick up an important three points.
Thanks to Wight Eagles for the warm welcome and good luck for the rest of the season.
Players' player of the match: Eva for stepping up, putting on the gloves and playing as our keeper.
Coaches' player of the match: Teyla for her tireless work in attack and scoring a brilliant goal.
