What a difference a week makes - with 12 fit players this week Hemsworth were able to compete with a very good Garforth team. Both teams played some very good attacking football and were soon putting pressure on each others goals, it was a great game to watch with both teams going close but both unable to break the deadlock.
After some 20 minutes a Garforth attacker intercepted a ball at the edge of the box before racing forwards and chipping the ball into the top corner of the net which Chantelle could do nothing about. The back four of Brogan, Linzi, Chazzie and Becky had plenty of work to do for large periods of the first half play, but everyone of them did their job very well, keeping the Garforth attackers at bay. Chantelle is growing in confidence and power with every game, and made some good saves today.
Being solid at the back meant that Hemsworth could focus and press forwards for the equaliser but were unable to beat the confident Garforth keeper and the score remained at 0 - 1 as the half time whistle blew. The second half began with Hemsworth attacking straight from the kick off with Jodie powering a shot from the centre circle to go over the keepers head and into the back of the net. Garforth tried hard to dominate the midfield and after a good through ball their attacker broke quickly down the right wing and straight into a one on one with Chantelle, but Chantelle got a strong pair of hands to the ball pushing it around her near post preventing what had looked to be a certain goal.
A corner ball from Chaz rebounded out of the box for Amy to scramble the ball past the packed defence and into the Garforth nets to give Hemsworth a deserved lead. Both teams tried very hard as play went from end to end in search of the next goal, Hemsworth having some good shots on goal and Garforth unlucky not to have been awarded a penalty following a collision in the penalty box. Minutes later the ball was back in the Garforth net following another determined run from Amy and her quickly taken shot being deflected into the Garforth nets to extend the lead.
Hemsworths forwards and mid fielders then started to put real pressure on the Garforth goals with several shots whistling just over the cross bar. All the pressure began to tell as following another of Chazzies well taken corners, Jodie flicked the ball goalwards to see lanky George appear in front of the keeper and head the ball into the net for the fourth.
As the final whistle approached Tiff scored the fifth after some determined battling for the ball in the box, before her shot went into the far corner of the net for a super goal. Great team work and patience paid off today, with everyone giving 100% effort
