Town Ladies 3rd XI go on goal scoring spree...
LOUGHBOROUGH TOWN LADIES’ 3RD XI 12 TOWCESTER 4TH XI 0 MIDLANDS WOMEN’S DIVISION 4 NENE / CHARNWOOD
THE Town Ladies 3rd XI had an early start for this week’s game and had an inkling they could win the game as Towcester 4s are second from bottom of the league.
And with high availability in the ladies’ section, the 3rd XI was boosted with a number of 2nd XI and unfortunately, two players from Towcester had to isolate at the last minute so they were playing two players down.
Town had a good start to the game and were 2-0 up in the first two minutes. From then on until half time Town had most of the possession and it barely came into their 25. As Town were 6-0 up at half-time, they decided to spice things up a bit and completely switch their positions for the second half. So, forwards playing in defence and vice versa as they thought it would be a good time to practice playing out of position.
For the second half the swap of positions clearly didn’t go too badly as Town ended up scoring another six goals, leaving the final score at 12-0.
The goals were spread evenly across the team with Sarah Etherington, Izzy Muir and Meike Schuringa all scoring one each, Annabelle Page, Tabby Cockerill and Fionnhuala Davies scoring two and a hat-trick for Hana Rasheed. Overall, it was an enjoyable game and a great win!
Next week Town travel away to fourth placed Northampton Saints in their last game before the Christmas break.
