AFC Waverton 1 - Wirral Hawks 8
The first home game of 2009 proved to be a excellent one with a great display by Waverton against the top side in the League who had already scored 120 goals this season.
The game started brightly with Waverton dealing with the visitors attacks. Lucie in particular was in fine form between the sticks. Lily had a great chance to put Waverton in the lead but the Hawks got first blood after about 10 minutes. Soon after though the impressive Keira fed a lovely ball through to Elia who spun away from her marker and unleased a great shot into the back of the net. 1-1 and game on.
The stronger Wirral side with the luxury of subs extended their lead to 3-1 by half time, but the home side were more than a match in terms of competitiveness, passing and team work.
The Hawks went further ahead in the second half but again the girls can be really proud of their display against such a good side which included former Liverpool academy players. All players performed well and didn't let their heads go down. Lucie was excellent in the goal, Meg and Ellie defended well, Lily, Keira and the singing Hollie impressive in midfield and Elia up front looked class.
Well done girls!
Next up Greenleas Celtic at home next Saturday ko 9:30.
