Tamworth Ladies Thirds Vs Stone

Tamworth 3rds took a very different team for the rearranged match away at Stone on Saturday, with several regular 4th team players stepping up to play.

On a very sandy, bouncy and slow pitch the home team were more used to the conditions and settled much quicker than the town side.  Stone took the lead quite early on from a shot that somehow got past the keeper, not rattled by this Tamworth battled on and got more and more  into the game and forced a couple of short corners which unfortunately weren't converted.

A slick Stone move down their left which resulted in a great shot which was deflected past the keeper by a defender to make the score 2-0 to Stone at half time.

After the break Tamworth came out stronger as they looked to get back into the game with most of the second half spent attacking, and they pulled a goal back, a great cross from the right was slotted into the goal by Tilly Bryan to make it 2-1.

Tamworth kept fighting hard in the second half but were caught out by a Stone break and a 3rd goal was conceded late on in the game to give Stone a 3-1 win.
