Waverton win on the Wirral

Heygarth United 1 - AFC Waverton 3

An excellent performance by the girls on Thursday night resulted in victory in this friendly against Wirral side Heygarth United. Heygarth took the lead in the first half with a brilliant long range shot which crashed in off the underside of the bar. Waverton fought back and from a Keira Berry long throw in Ellie Riste tapped the ball home, a repeat of the goal against Princes Villa a couple of weeks ago.

In the second half Waverton were the stronger side and created a number of chances. Lily Worden went close twice and Ellie Riste just missed out converting a cross by inches. Soon after though Waverton were in front when guest player Caitlin Brooks thumped the ball past the 'keeper following good play from the midfield trio. A little later Caitlin scored again to give the visitors a comfortable margin which they kept until the final whistle.
