Bedford Battle

Leighton Buzzard Ladies 1st XI went into their second league game of the season with high hopes despite many injuries to the squad and a few players unavailable. In the first three minutes the girls were in the attacking D three times but converting attacking play into goals was tricky this week as Bedford defended very well.

The homes side were unfortunate as one of the defenders went off to hospital within the first 10 minutes so the team were left with just one substitute.

Sharon Avola converted a well deserved short corner to get the girls heading in the right direction and Katie Jackson scored the second and final goal for the home side.

The midfield battled well but it was clear that it was not going to be an easy game and Bedford scored two goals themselves leaving the final result as 2 - 2.

Next week the girls have their first away fixture against Berkhamsted and Hemel 1's.
