Stroud Ladies 3rds.....1 Blockley.........................2
IN a tight game, which saw Stroud block the advances of the Blockley team, at the final whistle it was the away team that edged a win.
Some fantastic saves by guest keeper Emma Crowe kept Stroud in contention throughout the game with her final save of the game worthy of the ‘save of the day’ award.
Blockley were the first to score and then Jenny Howorth pulled in the equaliser after some wonderful passing between herself, Issy Smith and Sophie Wathen.
Player-of -the-match, Lydia Wakefield was rock solid in defence and the ball moved well through the midfield.
In the dying moments of the game Stroud were awarded two short corners and were unlucky not to convert the penalty corner to a goal.
A good performance from 12 players that each week regroups into a team, reforms with new members of the squad ,and which swiftly learns to play together.
