FIXTURE: Womens 5th XI VS 19/10/2024 
HEADLINE: 6-1 Win at Watton 
LEAGUE: EAST DIVISION 4 NORTH EAST (NORTH) 
VENUE: Watton 
RESULT: Won 6-1 
 
REPORT: 
The whistle went and they were straight on us! They pressed hard and came at us strong and the first few minutes looked like we were in for a real fight.  
 
But then, we settled down. We passed quickly, strongly, we supported one another and somehow we were 1 nil up. Maybe we could do this!  
 
An outnumbered attack on our goal and a sneaky ball that looked like it was going wide saw them draw level, and it looked like it would be a closely fought battle for the duration.  
 
A short corner just before the end of the 1st half saw Sue send a stormer in and we were 2-1 up at half time.  
 
We were keen to keep our heads in the 2nd half, but when the goals came thick and fast from Megan and a beautiful team effort with lots of assists, we knew we had it wrapped up. 
 
A beautiful team effort, and a pleasure to play.

FIXTURE: Womens 6th XI VS 19/10/2024 
HEADLINE: First half performance much better than second v top of league Dragons 
LEAGUE: EAST DIVISION 4 NORTH EAST (NORTH) 
VENUE: Taverham 
RESULT: 0 - 4 
City held off the top-of-the league Dragons 6s unexpectedly well to start with – keeping a clean sheet for the first 30 minutes. The City home team, filled with lots of talented youngsters many freshly up from the club’s dev squad, battled hard and defended well. Dragons tried to break through but failed until they netted a powerful top-of-the-D hit just before half time. After the break, City lost their momentum. It was a tough game and, with just one sub, the team started to run low on energy. Eventually, the more experienced visitors began to dominate, scoring three more goals to take the final score to four nil.
