Following on from a positive start to the season, Ladies 2s took on the journey to sunny, sunny Colchester. Deftly avoiding the worst of the roadworks, a full squad + one sub rocked up ready to show the very lovely Colne team what we're made of.
Wasting no time in doing so, Teagan set the ball up in the seventh minute for a swift deflective hit from Rae, putting Tuesday's training drill to good use. 0-1.
Colne also turned up ready to play, however, and soon equalised with a dash up the pitch and a well placed ball into the corner of the goal. 1-1.
With a change of position into centre forward, Tilly twice drove the ball beautifully into the circle and battled the ball behind the line, with only a minute between each goal. 1-3
Half time saw positive support from the team, and Havering set out with determination to secure a victory. After brilliant play from both sides, and lots of lovely passages of play, a battle in the circle saw a ball from Rae roll its merry, unhurried way over the line. 1-4.
Following a few short corners throughout the game, the final short corner saw a belter of a strike from Emilie, taking the final score to 1-5.
