Ladies 3rd XI Match Report
Leighton Buzzard 4th XI v Potters Bar 3rd XI
02 October 2010 | by Kelly Hutcherson
Potters Bar ladies 3rd team got off to a brilliant start for the second week running against Leighton Buzzard 4's. This match was always going to be a good test for Potters Bar as this was an inter division game and Leighton are in the division above. Straight from the start PB pushed forward and within 5 minutes a lovely through ball from Lorraine Gallagher to Neusha Pirouzi resulted in a great shot and save by LB keeper but the goalmouth scramble straight after caused LB problems and a shot from Chris Field hit a LB defender and crossed the line. 1-0 Potters Bar.
LB then had a good spell but the resiliant defending of Lorraine Gallagher allowed no one through on goal and it wasnt long before Emily Stoker ran unchallenged up the left wing and her superb cross was met by Chris Field's excellent strike. 2-0 Potters Bar. LB made a couple of defensive changes which kept PB at bay and soon LB had a good 10minutes of play but Gronia Morley in the PB goal stood firm and kept PB alive.
2 minutes from half time and Emily Stoker was on the attack again and a great run from Katie Lane into their D allowed her to stop and shoot from the resulting cross and PB finished the half on a high and 3-0 to the good.
The second half started with LB being very agressive and as a result PB gave away 2 short corners, but good defending yet again by Lorraine and Charlotte Sayers kept out all LB attempts. PB did a bit of defensive rearranging and shortly after a straight through ball allowed Neusha Pirouzi a free run at the LB goal and a fantastic one-two with Katy Francis allowed Neusha to slide the ball under LB's keeper and put PB 4-0 up. A pretty tired PB then relaxed a little and although LB attacked Gronia was strong and never allowed the ball past her.
Finally with the clock ticking down a quick break from Neusha resulted in a short corner for PB and a slightly miss timed shot from Kelly Hutcherson allowed Emily Stoker to gather the ball and place it low and left for her first goal of the season and PB's 5th of the game. 5-0 was the final result and two wins from two for Potters Bar.
Final Score: Potters Bar 5 - 0 Leighton Buzzard
Goal Scorers: Chris Field (2), Emily Stoker, Neusha Pirouzi, Katie Lane
