REPORT:L:  
Much anticipation on arrival playing East Coast who were currently 2nd in the league. After a slightly late start we were raring to go. 1st half there was exceptional play from our defence:Jess, Longi, Bambi and Kate who stopped many of East Coasts shots at goal, with great play from Sofia and Niamh clearing the ball out of the D for the mid and forwards to receive. Great links and passing of the ball between our mids who made it hard for the opposition to intercept, great play from Kim with many block tackles and gave great support throughout the game. East Coast were slowly creeping back into play, but luckily we had Winnie and her speed to stop them from intimidating us. Amazing leads on the wing from Sophia H who did some amazing passes up to Helen who was able to have some powerful shots at goal. Lola on the wing who did some amazing links and was putting herself in fantastic positions to get the ball who played it up to Alice. Alice with her power pushed through the defence to get in the D. Second half with 15 minutes to go we had a big urge to win and with just 15 minutes to go Emma H saw her opportunity to go around the defence in the D and hit an amazing shot right past the goalie into the goal. 1-0, East Coast than started to panic and fought back with a goal with 5 minutes of play left. This is when we realised we can’t let it be a draw and so with 2 minutes left we got 1 short corner which we didn’t manage to get a goal but we did receive another foot, with the whistle blown we realised this was our only chance to win, we brought everyone up and with an excellent push out from Emma Hewitt to Kim, than with a slip from Kim to Emma Ford, who than did a very powerful sweep into the back of the goal. The end of the game was 2-1 to NCHC 3s. We celebrated like we had just won the Olympics!

REPORT: 
City were on the attack from the off with strong passing and lots of movement. We were determined to defeat Broadland and the opportunity came 7 minutes in when Rachel stormed the left wing to take her first successful shot on goal - and we were 1 - nil up! 
 
Reset, let's go again! - Broadland came back at us and equalised within minutes. We weren't defeated yet though, and we managed to score off a short corner and we were winning again 2-1! 
 
Broadland didn't rest on their laurels though and before half time they equalised with us - 2-2! 
 
We went in to the second half, feeling we could keep broadland at bay still but it just wasn't to be. Short corners saw Broadland convert another 2 and we finished 2-4 to them.
