U13s S-Tech League POSH Girls (3) v Comberton (3)

Posh met Comberton Crusaders U13s at home on Saturday for what believed to be a tough match. In the first few minutes of the game it was clear that Comberton were very well organised at the back and with a nervous start by the Posh girls breaking down Comberton was looking tricky. After ten minutes into the match the Posh Girls started to pick out their passes and Stacie Heron struck the ball cleanly into the back of the net. Good pressure from the Posh back four and midfield players prevented Comberton driving forward into our defending third. A powerful strike from Posh Girls centre back Georgia Campbell-Turner from the half way line saw the ball bounce high in front of Comberton's keeper and then find the goal. We then saw Comberton break through the field and attack the game with a chance on goal Comberton's striker took one touch to hit the target. However Sarah Galpin was in a good position to bat away the chance only to see the ball come straight back at her with which she hit the floor only to have the ball stolen and placed into the net. Comberton then put up the pressure to score another two goals in quick succession. Posh failing to play their game gave away simple balls back to the feet of the Comberton players who attacked quickly. Gaining some composure and as usual never prepared to give up the fight the Posh Girls broke free, on form Stacie Heron received the ball and was left one on one with goalkeeper keeping calm struck the ball finding her second goal of the match. A well earned point for both teams making the final score 3-3.
