REPORT: 
City looked to build on recent history and carry on their winning ways against the students of UEA 2’s.  
 
A strong squad from City were raring to go, but the students jumped to the top of the class when they took an early lead. 
 
City soon realised they may be in detention and the midfield started to push forward winning city a penalty corner. Helen (Mrs Brockington) and Lola had clearly been doing their homework and Sarah injected to Helen and a one-two between Helen and Lola lead to Helen making it one all. 
 
With City back level, the mighty yellows started to create more with Chloe G, Chloe J and Susan head girls in the middle and our top teacher Mrs Brockington scored to put city into a deserved lead only for the advantage to be subtracted when UEA quickly replied to get it back to 2-2 at half time. 
 
Headmistress Longy and Miss Hood gave an inspiring speech to the assembly of city players in the break which lead to quite a different second half. Marie, Longy, Emma, Millie and Katie gave a schooling to the students on the Fine Art of defending with UEA only threatening on the break and when they rarely got in, were unable to make an addition to their score with Jo in goal making some amazing saves. 
 
The midfield of Chloe J, Chloe G and Susan were too strong for the tiring students who were learning the lesson for not getting close to our energetic group and they were able to supply our exciting forward line. Mirabelle and Susan were a constant threat on the left with Lola ,Jess and Alice mastering the science of wing play and creating chance after chance for Helen, Rachel and Sarah. 
 
Two quick goals for Lola extended City’s lead to a deserved 4-2 with two prefect 😉 finishes past the goalkeeper. Norwich City continued to push forwards and some great individual skill from Chloe J led to the ball reaching Rachel and with only one likely outcome the rest was history and Rachel was on hand to make it a Fantastic Five showing a team in their prime.  
 
The final whistle blew shortly after leaving the final score, a commendable and full of merit 5-2 to Norwich City.
