We made it 2 wins out of 2 in the Lincolnshire Women & Girls Football League Premier Division with a hard fought 2-1 win at Sleaford Town Women. In front of a large partisan home crowd the ladies dug in to take all 3 points. With a depleted squad and no recognised goalkeeper we knew we had to be strong in defence, with our former players Katie and Rosie Peace sure to be a threat. The game wasn't a feast of flowing football and chances were few and far between, the first falling to Aimee Church who's attempted lob was off target, soon after Amelia Stevens was through one on one but the home keeper made a good save down to her right. The deadlock was broken on 34 minutes when Aimee Church pounced on a loose ball from a Grace Smith free kick, firing home from close range. At the other end, Holly, the stand in goalkeeper was dealing with everything that came her way. With a slender lead at half time we knew we had to continue to work hard as we faced the bright sunshine. The hosts started quicky and within 2 minutes had drawn level, Katie Pease capitalising on a defensive misjudged to lob Holly in goal with a good finish. We responded brilliantly, starting to get a foothold in the game, a fantastic through ball by Aimee saw Amelia beat the defender for pace and under pressure calmly placed the ball past the advancing keeper into the bottom corner. The game was end to end without real quality but with plenty of effort, we managed the game excellently to hold onto the win. Todays POTM was Tegan Greensill who stayed strong in the centre of defence, special mention to Georgia Mellor having another good game in midfield alongside Grace Smith and Holly who played in goal, managing to not be distracted by the home fans air-horn to ensure we could fulfil the fixture. All round though a fantastic team performance. We wish the much improved Sleaford side the best of look for the remainder of the season. Well done ladies
