Review: After the heights of the midweek performance the Felsted 1st XI was careful not to take lightly a well-organised Haileybury side. Full of work rate across the pitch, Haileybury were hard to break down and Felsted went into half time just a goal ahead. The turning point in the game was a brilliant solo goal by Bryony Males, using her well-positioned team mates to fox the opposition defence. Arriving with the ball at the baseline, she opened up her body and feigned to play the now legendary 90 degrees pass. As the Haileybury defence raced to cut off this option in numbers, Males calmly turned the other way and slipped the ball past the goalkeeper's near post. From then on, Felsted played beautifully, controlling possession, patient in defence against counter attacks and selflessly moving and passing up front. A number of goals went in, all candidates for goal of the season. Amy Stewart was faultless back at the heart of the defence and there were other excellent performances from all 12 present, marking a fitting end to the season and the excellent standard of the play of which the team are now capable.
Star Player: Bryony Males
