The Hemsworth girls pulled together as a team and did not allow this to affect their game, they came straight back at Lepton and following a good through ball from Ebony and a good strike at goal by Kelly followed by a huge collision with the goalkeeper which allowed the ball to trickle over the line, (willed on by all the Hemsworth supporters and the players!) This took the score to 1 - 1 at half time.After an injection of orange juice at half time, a good team talk and the sun coming out, the girls came back out with a lot more energy. Lepton were very physical but this did not phase our girls and they held up to the challenges well and responded with a strong finish by Tiff from one of Chazzie’s brilliant corners to take the lead.
Lepton never gave up trying but the Hemsworth back three of Lindsay, Chazzie and Becky were in formidable form today with nothing getting past them.Tiff showed lots of strength today and wasn’t intimidated by the power of some of the Lepton girls, and backed up back George, Nik, Kel and Chloe they fed some great balls through the centre to allow Amy to fight her way through the Lepton defence and get some good shots on goal. Leah battled well and despite being a little nervous nearly scored her first goal!
In the closing minutes of the game Chazzie took advantage of another penalty opportunity to smash home goal number three.
A good match today with each team member showing some true grit and spirit in a very physical game. Well done girls!
