AFC Waverton 2 - Vicars Cross Dynamoes 2
Back to competitive action with a good close game against Vicars Cross Dynamoes at a windy Upton.
For the first ten minutes the game was fairly even, but then Vicars Cross took the lead. Darcy made some good saves to keep the score down to one. In the second period of the first half though Waverton were more settled and played some great football. Lily and Keira both went close to equalising. Lily had a great long looping shot from the right just miss going in to the top corner whilst Keira shot just past the wrong side of the post.
In the second half the Waverton girls were matching their opponents and it was no surprise when the breakthrough came. Ellie Mageean fed a lovely long ball through to Olivia who ran forwards and cooly slid the ball past the Dynamoes 'keeper. Cue trademark goal celebration number 2.
Vicars Cross are too good a side to let their opponents back into a game easily and they restored their lead a little later when a tricky shot deceived Darcy in goal. The Waverton girls didn't give up and pressure, including a succession of Gabby throws and Keira corners, paid off late on when Olivia grabbed her second goal from close range following great work from the midfield. Cue trademark goal celebration number 6.
Points shared and a great game to start the 2008 campaign in front of the watching League Secretary.
