S&B 4’s start the year with a decent win against Basildon 4’s Development team.
The Fabulous 4’s took the lead early in this game. Midfielders Lexi, Millie, Yasmin, Sofia & Isla dominating the field brought in plenty of chances for the forwards. First up, Michelle’s goal sneaking in behind goalie, followed soon by Katie’s and then with her debut goal midfielder Millie calmly scoring a 1 on 1 with the keeper.
Basildon continued battling in the 1st half, missing just a few chances were not able to get past Lea and our solid defence of Angie, Meg, Ingrid, Emily & Izzy.
The 4’s finished the first half with another goal this time from Lesley who fought valiantly against the Basildon keeper. 4-0 to S&B.
Second half saw Basildon using all their players to push up harder. S&B where still able to take the game to 5-0 with another goal from Michelle, soon after though Basildon managed to weave through S&B’s midfield and defence and secure their first and only goal of the match. We finished with a solid 5-1 win.
This was an unusual week for the 4’s, taking a near full squad of 14. Initially, unsure if the rotation of players could be disruptive, on this occasion proved to be fruitful. Well done team for adapting and a great result to start the year off. POM Millie.
