A very good performance today from both teams provided an entertaining match for both sets of spectators. A vastly improved Otley team made the Hemsworth girls work hard for their win in the opening round of the cup.
Otley were the first to score with a goal from the close range finish that gave Siobhan little chance to save.
Hemsworth carried on playing good football with plenty of missed opportunities on goal, the result at half time was HMW 0 Otley 1.
The second half was as exciting as the first with good strong football from both sides, Then HMW levelled the score with a fantastic long ball from Chazzie to Chels who took it down the wing and cut in front of the goal to beat the keeper with Hemsworth's first goal. The Hemsworth Girls then started to pile on the pressure with Chloe making some excellent runs down the right wing, Georgi having 2 good shots at goal and 2 well placed corners were delivered by Chazzie, but the girls failed to get on the end of them.
HMW's second goal followed Chelsea running the length of the wing to beat the keeper but hitting the post, Kelly responded quickly throwing herself at the ball and pushing it into the goals with 2 feet before ending in the back of the net herself.
Jodie and Nicky were very strong at the back and in mid field, Otley kept on battling to the end and by no means was the game over until the final whistle, as they created chance after chance only to be foiled by Chaz and Siobhan on the goal line.
In the final 10 minutes the Otley goalie didn't manage a goal kick too well, which allowed Amy to intercept the ball and smash it past the retreating keeper from outside the box, to give HMW a 3-1 victory.
Good football and 100% effort produced from all the players today-
Siobhan, Chazzie, Becky, Nicky, Jodie, Georgi, Chloe, Tiff, Chels, Amy, Kelly, Katie and Ebony.
Goals :- Chels, Kelly and Amy.
