Pain for Purdy in first loss at Henley
10 October 2015
Ladies' 6s 2 - 3 Henley Ladies Development
We had an interesting warm up and Purdy pulled a muscle badly in her thigh but bravely played on. In the first half Purdy made loads of amazing saves unfortunately there was a short corner where the ball was lifted and she made a big stretch for it causing more pain, she ended up going off at half time. At this point the score was 0-0.
In the second half Becky bravely stepped in as goal keeper. (Would she fit into the shorts - just!) Henley then got a short corner which lead to a goal to them. As your mother would say "Keep your legs together!", They then got another goal soon after due to another short corner. However with Jessica's powerful hits down the pitch to Holly who then drove down the wing and then crossed the ball to Linda who then lifted the ball into the net! Shortly after there were lots of short and quick passes where Dette received the ball and slipped it through the Keeper's legs! Unfortunately we got called for another short against us this led to another goal to Henley making the final score 3-2.
In the end the players of the match were Purdy and Jessica.
