WOMENS 4TH XI - 18/10/2025 VS DEREHAM 3 (H) TEAM: Womens 4th XI DATE: 18/10/2025 FIXTURE: Womens 4th XI VS 18/10/2025 HEADLINE: Jessica White hits a hatrick as City hold strong [Norwich City Womens 4’s Vs Dereham] LEAGUE: EAST DIVISION 3 NORTH EAST (NORTH) VENUE: Taverham High School RESULT: 3-0 REPORT: The womens 4’s took on Dereham this week on home turf. Keen to keep climbing the table and after a motivational talk from captain Wiktoria the womens came out ready to go. The team came out strong, starting to build some momentum with composure and transfers along the back line, which then earned Jess her first goal just 8 minutes into the first half. The hard graft from the attacking line, with great pace from Wiktoria and Charlotte added more pressure to Dereham defence. Maddie did a great job adjusting to the middle of pitch, with some important interceptions and distribution of the ball. Jess then once again proved her goal scoring skills getting her second cracking goal before the half time whistle. With a quick sugar refuel and some wise words from Pies the girls went back out ready for more. Frustration grew, which saw a few greens and yellows being shown and a firm warning about clean and fair tackles. However this did allow for City to gain some short corners in their favour. The womens put their training into practice and with Simran injecting a fast ball to Izzie at the top of the D, she slipped it left to Jess who earned her hatrick by pushing it into the bottom corner past the keeper. Dereham then fought back and had some chances to break down the middle, but with great communication the defensive work from Jen, Ellie and Lucy swiftly shut them down. The match ended with a solid win of 3-0, securing the Womens place towards the top of the table.
