Match Report AULU12 v Bishops Stortford Sat Oct 14th
Aylesbury took an early lead Olivia is on the scoresheet! Aylesbury were pressing but the opposition always looked to threaten on the counter attack; Ellie gave us a cushion 2-0, bottom left corner. Then followed a 1 on 1 with our GK Priya; 2-1 Bishops Stortford slotted home a goal.
Imogen had a few shots wide but then came her looping shot dipping under the cross bar 3-1. Another attack on our Goal; they rode 3 challenges but the ref deemed one to be unfair awarding them with a penalty. Priya saved the shot & bravely followed up the rebound.
Another 1 on 1 v Priya & they scored again seeing us go in at half time 3-2 up.
Second half was similar to the first; great displays of passing with Nicole spraying the ball out wide on numerous occasions. Evie linking up with the attack ended with Ellie in the box with a few options, she worked the keeper to get the angle she wanted before sliding it home.
Now followed Bishops Stortford’s best spell of pressure; our defence were outstanding today really having to dig deep Millie, Hollie, Mia, Rhea all were amazing & kept us very much in the game. Isla made some timely blocks helping out in defence. Some good fortune; the timing for their GK to make an error was very favourable as Liv pounced on their mistake.
End to end stuff now then came Olivia’s peach of a 3rd goal; what a way to secure her hattrick!
Our confidence was now growing & from a corner Nicole steered the ball into the net. Grace & Millie linked up well in defence again bringing the ball out of defence with great control. The opposition didn’t give up as Priya was beaten by a low shot to her right.
7-3 as the final whistle blew.
