In what can only be called our only grudge match of the season the girls put in a fantastic performance to beat the top team in the league on their own ground, the first time they have been beaten this year.

All the girls put all the hard work we have been doing in training into practice and it was great to see the passing, tackling and shooting pay off.

In the first half we dominated possession, with some excellent passing and movement particularly from the girls in midfield, with Lizzie really driving the team forward at every opportunity.

Kayleigh took a knock and had to come off for 5 minutes, and Tasha volunteered to cover in goal, then just before the half time break we got what we deserved with a fine team goal finished off by Emma, fast becoming our goal poacher supreme.

The Knaresborough Celtic management team huffed and puffed through half time, then in our only spell of 5 minutes just after half time where we lost concentration Knareborough equalised.

That spurred us back into action, and with some fantastic saves from Kayleigh restored in goal, some stout defending from Tasha and particularly Jodie and with Annwen, Eleanor, Lizzie, Emily, Grace and Emma all tackling and passing with great commitment, we got what we deserved when Emma scored hers and our second goal.

Not a stonewall defensive performance, and even playing over a minute and a half extra in the second half for some reason, it was a really well deserved victory.

Well done girls, we are proud of that performance, and that should set the standard for the rest of the season.
