The Fantastic 4’s drew 1-1 at home with Southend. S&B started off very strong and with Katie E and Lexi H playing the ball up the pitch, the home team were awarded a short corner. Lesley Tonking expertly banged the ball into the goal putting S&B in the lead. While the home team kept the pressure on, Southend took advantage of S&B subbing players leading to unmarked players in the D, overwhelming the home defence leading to a Southend goal.
S&B were determined to get another goal and kept working up the pitch. Numerous runs on the left by Lucy P led to great attacking play, Izzy M cut out so many of the loose balls pushing forward, feeding them into the Southend D. Lesley Tonking and Lexie C battered the away team's goal but were denied several chances at scoring.
The second half again saw the home team start strong with great play again from Lexi H and Katie E across the pitch getting into the D. Both Lesley T and Katie A had short corners on target denied by the Southend keeper. Demi R our own pocket rocket who only turned 13 recently impressed on the left, battling away, never giving up and playing some great balls to the forwards. The last 10 minutes S&B camped in the Southend 23, but despite numerous shots on goal by S&B, the Southend goalie saved one after the other, denying the home team another goal.
