Lancaster 3 vs Windermere 1

Lancaster 3s      1-0        Windermere 1s

Lancaster 3s welcomed Windermere 1s this weekend. Lancaster started the brighter of the two teams with Molly Chapman, Sophie Christopherson and Kathryn Ellison driving Lancaster forward down both wings. The forwards of Izzy Liver, Emily Bamber-Dowthwaite and Diana Taylor earner Lancaster a flurry of short corners mounting up the pressure. 25 minutes into the first half the ball was smashed across the D; Hope Morgan found the ball heading in her direction. She didn’t panic, instead she made solid contact with the ball and smashed it home.

The second half was more end to end. The Lancaster defence of Jayne Roper, Amanda Bamforth, Molly Chapman, Olivia Wyeth-Physick and Angie Evans-Hill were called into action in a number of times, making great tackles and interceptions to keep Windermere at bay. 10 minutes to go Lancaster scored a second off a short corner only for it to be ruled out seconds later as the ball had not left the D.

With 10 minutes to go Windermere piled on the pressure. Goalkeeper Rebecca Halliwell made a number of key saves to keep Windermere out. The final whistle eventually was blown much to the delight of Lancaster 3s as they earned their first win of the season.
