Review: A light squad of twelve players started slowly away against Kings Canterbury and found themselves a goal down within minutes and two down not long after. Throughout the whole game Canterbury controlled possession much better although Felsted still created chances on the break. Lucky to be only two goals in arrears at half time, the second period was a different prospect, with the defence picking up spare players and coping much better with the strong running of the Canterbury midfield. Despite a good start to the half, another soft goal squeezed in and the game was almost out of reach. A spirited fight back and strong finish ensued from which Felsted must take pride and belief. Mollie Stonham was bright again up front, Tamara Evans produced another consistent performance and Lizzie Went, promoted from the 2nd XI, was superb in showing how well she can play at this level. A number of chances were created in both open play and from short corners but the 1st XI forwards were for once a little shot shy and unable to test the 'keeper. The game ended with its best passage of play - a break from Anna Middendorf down the right, a weighted cross and a first time strike from the irrepressible Anna Stonham into the roof of the net - a great goal and rich reward for the captain's player of the match winning performance.
Star Player: Anna Stonham
