Match Report  
 
On reflection the match against Broadland was pretty even although it felt like we had just dropped two points.  
 
With a strong squad and a guest appearance from Serena our “new on the day” team manager we started with purpose. 
 
At training we had worked on our press and it showed throughout the match as it constantly caused Broadland problems with their hit outs.  
 
We had more chances in front of goal, either from short corners or by our forwards and midfielders constantly making strong runs into the attacking circle. However it wasn’t to going to be our day largely due to Broadland’s GK. Our defence worked tirelessly to defend any Broadland attacks and breathed a huge sigh of relief when a former city player hit the post! Our transfers around the back were working well which exploited Broadland’s gaps and saw us making strong driving runs on a number of occasions. 
 
However the main excitement of the match was counting the number of cards and guessing the colour of them as they were being issued by the umpires to the opposition. We had a player leave the pitch and didn’t come back, a player thought it was acceptable to push one of our younger players, a player constantly not being five on our free hits and slowly but surely they were getting irritated but to our great credit we kept our composure.  
 
It was a good well fought match and although the final score was 0-0 we played and communicated well as a team and showed great resolve throughout the match. There were many positives and we look forward to next weekend when we enter the Dragons Den! 
 
A big shout out to fellow player of the match - Obi and Marie. And of course to our on the day team manager Serena!
