S&B 4th XI suffer narrow defeat to Old Southendians 4’s

The Fantastic Fours, with new captain Michelle Arnold, were unlucky to lose 0-1 at home to local rivals Old South. Both teams battled in the tropical weather. The 4’s kept running, never giving up despite the heat with lovely passes across the pitch, creating lots of chances for S&B but each time they were denied by the Old South goalie. Our own pocket rocket Ann was on fire at left back, stopping the oppo’s balls and then running up the pitch past their players to slot the ball across, and then taking some lovely strikes at the short corners. It was a real team effort. A great first game of the season. The midfield ran their socks off and that was shown as POM was shared between 4 people today - Emily C, Anne Johnson, Mya O and Georgina S
