5 Goal Delight for Ladies 2s

5 Goal Delight for Ladies 2s

In true 1st game of the season weather - it was was an absolute scorcher at the IES home ground. Play started well with both teams linking up passes in the central section but neither able to make it beyond the defensive lines to convert. A slightly nervous Bury squad had to rearrange their positions when Captain Whiting came off injured early in the game. A couple of short corners awarded to both teams but still it looked like it was to be a nil-nil first half. That is until the superb Stacy cleared up a loose ball on the line at 5mins to half time and then a conversion of a short corner with 1min to go.
Half time
Bury 2-0 IES.

Back out for the Second half and Bury’s Dahl’s (J) worked it well in the middle to get it up to forward Slark-Hollis who deceived the back line to sweep one in behind the IES keeper.
Another short corner for Bury led to a flick with the IES defender accidentally stopping the ball on the line by a foot. Turner stepped up to take it but unsuccessful to convert.
Closely followed by some awesome play by Dahl (N) to work out another goal. Play continued with both teams looking a little worn out due the heat with some end to end plays. A break down the right hand side to Bury out to James for an absolute corker of a strike across to back of the goal net. Determined to come back in the game some more short corners awarded to IES with saves from Woodroof and clearances from Konrath, Parkins, Collins and Morris. Finishing with a couple of shorts awarded to Bury but IES kept them out.

Final Score
Bury 5-0 IES
