A (windy) game of 2 halves 
 
Norwich City battled the elements and a tough first half to come out 3–1 winners against Watton in a windy and hard-fought match. Emma stepped up brilliantly as captain, leading by example with a calm presence and strong defending throughout the game. 
 
The first half wasn’t our finest – we were lacking energy and didn’t quite seem to believe in ourselves, which made it hard to find any rhythm or control in the game. Watton took their chance and went 1–0 up, leaving us a bit frustrated going into half time. 
 
But Pies delivered a motivational team talk that lifted the whole squad. We came back out with new energy, sharper focus, and way more bite. 
 
Amber was relentless up front and her pressure won us three short corners. Jess made the most of the first one, calmly putting it away to level the score. Shortly after, Sue stepped up and smashed home a brilliant straight strike from the top of the D to give us the lead. Jess then added her second of the day to make it 3–1, showing great positioning and cool finishing under pressure. 
 
At the back, Lucy was a rock – strong tackles and also totally composed under pressure. Alongside the rest of the defence, she helped shut down Watton’s attacks and kept us in control once we’d taken the lead. 
 
All in all, it was a game of two halves – a shaky start, but a brilliant response and a full team performance in the second half. Bring on the next one!
