Folkestone Ladies 1sts Vs Brentwood

  • W 3-1
  • Brentwood

Following 2 disappointing results, the Ladies 1s, sponsored by Andrea’s fancy
dress shop, came out full of determination and desire to work together to
get a good result. The game was end to end and when Brentwood reacted
quickly to a free hit just outside the D, a hard hit ball across the goal resulted
in a deflected own goal by Janet Fuller, under severe pressure. Folkestone
were determined not to let their heads go down and worked hard to get back
into the game. A Brentwood short corner was turned over and the ball was
hit out of defence by Sharon Harding, with 2 passes it found Janet Fadagio
on the forward line who took the ball to the back line and found a gap on the
near post to score a superb equalizer. Folkestone continued to press and
won a short corner; the ball was passed to Ashley Mainwaring who swept it
imperiously into the goal. The final goal came from good team work with a
drive to the back line by man of the match, Lucy Anderson, who passed the
ball across to the penalty spot for Captain, Vic Carney to turn into the goal.
Folkestone Ladies’ work rate was a large factor in winning this match and it
was a good overall team performance.
