Tamworth Ladies Seconds Vs Stafford 2

The ladies seconds started their league campaign with a hard fought draw against Stafford on Saturday.  Tamworth took a while to settle to the pitch conditions with Stafford enjoying some good early possession but the towns defensive quartet of Nadia Williams, Clare Phillips, Sam Bowyer and Jane Escombe worked well as a unit and thwarted any danger with debutant GK Deb Oxley only called into action on a couple of occasions.  Once the town settled they started to pass the ball around nicely with Nadia Williams and Jo Goode combining well down the right flank creating a number of chances but Tamworth were unable to convert and the sides went into the break all square.

The second session was again evenly balanced although it was Tamworth that created the better goal scoring opportunities, Anne Marshall had a one on one with the GK saved, Elaine Foxley hit the post and Claire Miles created a good opportunity from a short corner only to put her shot wide and the score remained 0-0 as the sides earned a point each.
