REPORT: 
 
On Saturday 27th the Womens 1st XI travelled away to face a physical Sudbury side. With tough pitch conditions came the difficulty to find rhythm within the first half, allowing Sudbury to take an early 1-0 lead. Harriet Preston delivering a superb performance, battling hard in defense kept us in the game through to halftime. 
Going into the second half, Norwich came out fighting with Lucy Tilbrook working endlessly to create links within the midfield and many attacking opportunities. Despite our best efforts, some quick counter attacks from the opposition took the score up to 3-0 and even with the display of determination from the girls we were unable to find a way back into the game. Although the end result didn’t go our way, this match has given us plenty to build on moving forward into our next fixtures.

REPORT: 
Norwich City Womens 1s came up against Peterborough 1s in a strongly contested game. City started the first half with high intensity and great plays, coming up with a quick counter attack down the left handside, entering the D and resulting in a penalty flick only 5 minutes into the game. Ellyn Roberts stepped up to take the penalty and scored a great flick left of the keeper and straight into the back net, putting City up to 1-0 very early on. Unfortunately we couldn’t keep the momentum going and with Peterborough eventually finding their ways, they managed to come back against us and scored two quite quick goals, ending the first half 2-1 to them. After a great chat from Ali and Emily the womens went out strong again hoping to see a smilier result from the first five minutes of the first half. We started playing the ball better from the back into the middle and then up to the forwards creating better plays and more opportunities to equalise, with winning a few penalty corners and yet another penalty flick, but we were unable to capitalise and defeat looked on the cards. With only 3 minutes left of the game City managed to claim a short corner, and with Hannah Nunn’s great strike from the top of the D City managed to get the score back to a tie to 2-2. Coach Ali was very satisfied with a draw so sent us all back into a half court press to ensure we didn’t concede and start the new season with a loss, with these great tactics City managed to maintain the draw finishing the game 2-2 against a very strong Peterborough team.
