Match Report

Tamworth went into this game needing all 3 points to move them to safety.  They started strongly with good movement from Alex Gayton and Elaine foxley up front.  Within 5 minutes they had won a short corner. Captain Becky Moore hit the ball out to Paula Cooper close on the edge of the d who dispatched the ball into the goal from a narrow angle to take the lead.  More pressure followed and Claire Miles effort from another short was stopped on the line by a defenders leg and a penalty stroke was awarded. Miles stepped up and calmly lifted the ball past the keeper to lead 2 nil.  Lichfield then started to play. Piling the pressure on the young tamworth defence. Izzy Hounsome had another great game battling hard to win the ball time after time.  Lichfield never let up and scored twice before the break to go into the second half honours even.   Sarah Price in defence saved twice on the line from shorts as tamworth slowly began to get back on top.  With 2 minutes to go a great ball into the d from Jackie Casey was deflected by Cooper to Miles who dragged it back and shot wide of a diving keeper into the goal to give tamworth a well deserved win.
