Leighton played away against Phoenix and Ranelagh on a freezing and bitter day! Leighton came out fast and hard. Winning a short corner within the first 5 minutes. Laura browne pinged the ball out to Karmel who passed it scriv for a one two. Karmel hit it straight into the goal!
Leighton’s defensive unit not only protected the goal but followed on to set up the second goal. A beautiful ball was passed from the 23 to Karmel who passed on to Gabbie. Giving her a one on one with the keeper bagging us another goal. Leighton kept up this high quality and aggressive play, gaining them another goal just before half time. Gabbie used her reverse hit with the ball rocketing through the air and Karmel dinked into the net

Half time and Leighton were 3-0 up, Leighton had to keep composed and think tactically. Phoenix and Ranelagh came out stronger and used high attackers to enter our D. However as much as they put on the pressure Asta only had to save a few attempts on goal. Leighton continued to play fantastically as a team and secured a 4th and finally goal. Karmel posted up for a long corner and turned into the D and smashed the ball into the goal!

The final whistle went with a 4-0 win and overall a great team performance
