The calm before the storm

Wirral Hawks 6 - AFC Waverton 1

The Wirral Hawks last game of the season was never in doubt in collecting the points, but this was a real celebration of their title win and both teams enjoyed a good game played out in a friendly atmosphere. With only 5 girls from Waverton, Wirral Hawks lent us three girls Monica, Jess and Elsa and they performed excellently against their team mates.

Ellie lost the toss to go in goal in the first half and did really well but couldn't stop the score reaching 4 by halftime. The Hawks are really strong and some of their finishing was top class. In the second half Caitlin went in goal and the Hawks got another two before a handball in the box presented Waverton with a penalty. Emma stepped up and slotted the ball home in the left hand corner. A couple of minutes later, Ellie was brought down and another penalty was awarded. Ellie took it but hit it wide. Lily and Elia got through the home defence a number of times and were unlucky not to score.

A nice way to end the season for the Hawks but for Waverton the most important game of the season will take place just down the road next Wednesday evening.
