St Josephs 1 Hemsworth 2

The continuous heavy rain could not dampen the spirits of the team today and their performance could be described as anything but "wet" as all the girls gave everything they had in the game.



St Joseph's were awarded an early penalty which put them in the lead for about 20 minutes as Hemsworth patiently worked the ball and took the game to St. Josephs.

Chloe sped down the wing resisting the tough defenders to cross a beauty of a ball, which was well kept in by Liv, who sent it back into the goal area for 4 eagerly awaiting attackers; and after a brief pinball session between St. Joseph's defence and Hemsworths attack (George, Leah, Amy and Tiff), Leah came out tops with her first goal of the season.



Hemsworth's defence of Jodie, Mel, Linz and Becky was absolutely solid, dealing with every challange confidently. Nic had a fab game in goals dominating her box well.

At half time it was neck and neck, but Hemsworth were determined to press forward despite the tough conditions. Chelsea scored very early on in the second half with a very clever lob from Liv allowing Chelsea to go one on one with the keeper.

Hemsworth had the majority of the ball and plenty of chances, Tiff had a good active game in mid and missed out with a header just going over the the bar. Jodie just missing from a free kick as their keeper just managed to keep the ball out of the corner of the net. Chloe was unlucky when, after a determined run, her angled shot aimed at the top corner, just missed its target.

A well deserved win girls!
