Today we hosted Exmouth in our first home game of the season, we started the game well passing the ball well and creating several chances and keeping Exmouth in their half for long periods, but we were unable to put the ball in the net and we  payed the ultimate price as Exmouth broke from there own half and slotted the ball past Ellie to see us 1 nill down , but as is always the case with this team we kept going forward with Ruby and Emily working hard in the mid and Jordan,lydia showing their pace and causing no end of problems for  Exmouth from one such attack the ball broke for Emily who finished well to leave it 1-1 at the break.

                                         The second half started well Emily causing more problems and getting us an early goal for 2-1 after this we had a very even game with both teams working very hard in very hot weather there were chances at both ends with Lydia and Jordan coming close, because of the weather we had a drinks break after 15mins and we changed things around bringing on Holly and Maddy  who both played very well holly running tirelessly but whilst it was 2-1 the result was not clear and the Exmouth players made our defenders work very hard Chloe espcially came of age as a  defender today controlling the Exmouth star player and not letting her score and she was backed up very well by Lauren who used her pace to good effect and after one of these clearances a flowing passing move saw us go from one end of the pitch to the other which ended with Ruby finishing well in the top corner for 3-1 which in the end was the result a great performance by all but a special mention for our keeper Ellie who made some great saves and looked strong well done all.
