AFC Waverton 5 - Delta Rangers 1
The evening magic continued as Waverton beat Delta Rangers in the same convincing style as they beat their Colts counterparts last Thursday.
Waverton lined up with Lucie in goal, Hollie and Meg at the back, Birthday girl and captain Ellie, Lily and Kiera in the middle and Emma up front. Elia started as sub.
Emma opened the scoring and Ellie grabbed the second in a repeat of her goal last Thursday running and cutting in from the left and firing past the 'keeper. 2-0 at half time although Lucie had to be at her best to keep the clean sheet.
In the second half a great move down the left put Lily away who cut in towards the middle and hit a low shot just inside the left hand side post for the third goal. Hollie (the scream) came on and went up front to replace Emma with instructions to score. She duly obliged hitting one in when the ball came to her inside the box. Cue special Hollie goal celebration. Lucie and Meg swapped positions with Meg taking her turn between the sticks and Lucie giving her legs a run.
Kiera had been threatening to score all night with numerous shots that just went wide but hit one right on target in the final five minutes to claim the fifth goal. The Rangers got one back right at the end for a consolation when a break saw 4 players running against defender Lucie and sub keeper Meg. Though Meg was very brave and got a bang on her head for her troubles, she couldn't stop the Rangers from scoring.
This was another great win for Waverton and they really are playing as a team and producing good football. Bring on that Cup Final!
MOM - Lucie Parkinson, for Delta Rangers - Chloe Rowlands.
