Lewes 5s v Crawley 2
This morning’s game saw a strong start from the 5s with pressure in the Crawley goal from the get-go!
After only 7 minutes in, a beautiful assist from Ruby saw Julia get the first goal of the match, scoring an absolute banger for the 5s and boosting the team's determination to take the win.
This appeared to annoy the opposition and the pressure was soon on our defence, who showed great skill along with accurate passing, preventing several of Crawley's attempts at goal. However, despite some great goal-keeping, 30 minutes in, Crawley equalised taking the half-time score to 1-1.
Both teams returned to the 2nd half determined, with Isobel denying Crawley a goal with a lovely save, and Bea getting a few attempts on goal after some great runs down the line. 5 mins left and a short corner injection from Ella, saw Julia’s tenacity pay off taking the score to 2-1! Julia’s enthusiastic goal celebration was second to none and perfectly summed up the players', coaches and supporters joy at bringing home the win for the 5s!!
Finally a special shout out to Stef, who despite her lack of sleep and possibly 1 too many shandies the night before, did not stop her from bringing her A game, she showed great skill and competitive spirit throughout the match and was a vital part of the team’s victory. Player of the Match: Lovely Bea.
