WOMENS 4TH XI - 08/11/2025 VS DISS LADIES 1 (A) TEAM: Womens 4th XI DATE: 08/11/2025 FIXTURE: Womens 4th XI VS 08/11/2025 HEADLINE: NCHC L4 v Diss LEAGUE: EAST DIVISION 3 NORTH EAST (NORTH) VENUE: Hartismere College RESULT: 3-2 win Sunshine and spirit: Norwich Shine against Diss On an unusually warm November morning, Norwich City took to the pitch in their away kit, determined to make amends for last week’s result. From the very first whistle, City set the pace, launching numerous threatening attacks that immediately put Diss under pressure. A strong early connection between Caroline and Amber up the line saw Norwich move the ball fluently, testing the Diss defence. At the back, City remained composed and disciplined, transferring the ball elegantly across the pitch -a clear reflection of the passing techniques refined in recent training sessions. Midway through the first half, Norwich earned a short corner. A sharp injection found Vicky at the top of the D, who slipped the ball to Sim for a brilliant deflection into the goal 1–0 to Norwich. Moments later, Charlotte showed great skill manoeuvring around defenders to maintain attacking momentum. The pressure paid off again when Vicky found the net for City’s second, weaving past defenders and finishing confidently from open play. Norwich went into half-time with a 2–0 lead, arguably their strongest first-half performance of the season. After the break, Diss came out revitalised and quickly found their rhythm. Despite several superb saves from Anna in goal, Diss managed to pull one back, narrowing the score to 2–1. Eager to respond, Norwich pushed forward once more. Excellent build-up play led to another short corner, and Jess capitalised with a powerful straight strike from the top of the D, 3–1 to Norwich. Diss, however, refused to back down and soon found a second goal to make it 3–2, setting up a tense rest of the half. Norwich’s defence held firm thanks to Izzie’s relentless pressure and smart shadowing, while Jenny and Lucy tracked back tirelessly to repel further attacks. Encouraged by wise words from Head Coach Pies and the team’s infectious enthusiasm, City maintained their composure until the final whistle, securing a hard-fought 3–2 victory. A strong, spirited performance and a well-deserved win for Norwich City.
