Tamworth Ladies Firsts Vs Stone 1

Tamworth were determined to get back to their winning ways and they started the game with positivity, keeping possession and passing the ball well and putting Stone under pressure for the majority of the game.

Claire Hicks and Jess Barker playing in midfield had fabulous games creating space and linking well with the forward line of Steph Wagstaff, Alex Gayton, Nadia Williams and Stevie Williams.   Stone gave Tamworth plenty of space and the balls crossed from left midlfielder Charley Rowe to the forward line, Stone were lucky, Tamworth had plenty of shots but the Stone goalkeeper their player of the match kept their goal tally down to the 3.  The first goal came from a short corner strike from Charley Rowe who fired it into the left hand corner, the second goal again from Charley also from a short corner was pushed out to Claire Hicks who received the ball in the 'D' took it out of the 'D' and then passed to Charley who struck it into the right hand corner!  Tamworth started the second half a bit sloppy and gave the ball away to frequently but after a "tamworth ten" the team settled better and passed the ball and kept some possession.  The third goal again came from another short corner that Stevie Williams received and struck home. Tamworth need to adapt better to their game when tiring as Stones goal came from lapse of concentration and resulted in a short corner. Tamworth deservedly got 3 points.
