Frustrating loss

BWHC L3XI 0 – 2 Winscombe L3XI (Away)

After a great win against Winscombe ladies 4s, Bridgwater 3s were coming into this next match up positive but under no illusion that it would be easy. Bridgwater started strong with all players moving as a unit. Winscombe were pushing hard in the midfield trying to gain advantage but the hard work of the midfielders Hannah Bremner, Ellie Coleman, Sophy Goodman, Sue Chaplin kept them busy with the back up of forwards Kath Briggs, Talia Trunks and Steph Parsons making things difficult and frustrating Winscombe. Although Winscombe pushed towards the Bridgwater D, Bridgwater defenders Hilary McNeill, Shannon Johnson and Lydia Hemsley battled hard and some saves from goalie Sam Mirto denied Winscombe. With some great play from Bridgwater, Winscombe found themselves back in their own half and defending their goal with chances being unsuccessful. Winscombe managed to break, making their way quickly into the Bridgwater D with the keeper managing to slow the player but despite her best efforts the ball made it over the line. Despite the score line Bridgwater kept their heads up and continued to battle with chances coming for Kath and Steph. Winscombe continued to push into the Bridgwater half and despite the tireless work of the whole team falling back to defend. Winscombes 2nd goal came from a well placed shot after the ball was cleared from one of the few short corners awarded to them.
Bridgwater were still positive and determined coming into the second half but frustratingly their best efforts were denied. Winscombe were also denied any of their chances in the second half as Bridgwater worked well to defend, keeping the second half goalless for both teams and improving on scoreline from the home match played earlier in the season.

Man of the match went to Lydia for her excellent defensive play with Sophy a very close 2nd, Shannon 3rd, Hannah & Kath 4th.
Many thanks to Bridget for her sideline coaching and support.
Bridgwater Ladies 3’s will be back in action in 2 weeks making the short trip to local rivals Taunton Vale 5XI.
