After a strong 4-0 win over Harpenden Ladies last week Leighton faced off at home against visitors Shefford & Sandy. The game started in tricky wet conditions making visibility difficult. There were great runs up front by Hayley Easton, Kirsty Scrivner and Gabbie Avola. Leighton Buzzard battled hard with a number of goal mouth scrambles but sadly no goals. Keeper Lisa Smith kept Leighton in the game as Shefford & sandy pushed forward, diving to stop balls on the line and in the air.
The first half ended 0-0 and after a short break the second half was under way. There was some lovely passing between Laura Keable at the back and Hollie Taylor in the middle. A disallowed goal didn't stop Leighton from battling on. The Buzzards had a number of chances through short corners but unfortunately in the end they just couldn't get the ball in the back of the net and the final score was 2-0 to Shefford & Sandy.
