Result: Southgate W1 2 – 1 Guildford
Goalscorers: Emma McIntyre; Jess Denniff
Match Report by: Ellie Robinson
The third game of the season saw the W1s away at old rivals Guildford looking for their first win of the season. We started well winning the first few corners and applying pressure high up the pitch, but a break away corner saw the home side take a 1-0 lead at the end of Q1.
Guildford stayed strong in defence with an excellent performance from Rose Thomas in the Guildford goal, before a real purple patch for Southgate saw us take a 2-1 lead before the half time break with an open play goal well tucked under the keeper by Emma Mac, and the two Jess’s combining for a lovely short corner goal from a Jess Denniff backhand.
The second half saw Southgate command the game with the all important third goal coming from a lovely backspace shot from JP to take the game out of reach from Guildford. Shout out to CK for some goal saving number 1 running, Maisie for some silky skills in the midfield seeing her take the MOM award, and a -1 shout out to Ronan for voting me DOD and himself MOM.
Looking forward to the quadruple header this weekend! See you all @ the club!
