An early morning start away at West Herts didn't put the team off, starting the game strong and working together to create chances. Hard work by the forward line created chances in the attacking D, resulting in a penalty corner. A clean push out by Shaz to Cookie top D and a perfectly slotted bottom right hand shot resulted in LBHC going 1-0 up.
West Herts pushed hard and solid defending by Lorna, Rhi, Emma Evans, Rachel and new team mate Dorris kept them at bay. Jo took a couple of shots on goal but saved them magnificently. Waking up again, we moved the ball cleanly around the pitch, using every single player with Mel, Anna, Emma Shuttle and creating space in the midfield. A calculated pass by Cookie into the D gave Lisa her chance and she slotted the ball away. 2-0 at half time.
Starting strong again, with the team attacking from defence. Lisa, Sharon, Charlie and Hannah made leading runs creating spaces and working hard for each other. Once again LBHC was on the front foot and Charlie was able to drive the ball in, scoring our 3rd goal. West Herts dug deep but LBHC continued to press high, a scramble in the D resulted in our 4th goal, very quickly followed by the 5th after a restart. Lisa claimed the 4th goal and Cookie claimed the 5th.
Every single player made a difference today and the Buzzards left the pitch buzzing!
POM went to Lisa Ayres, closely followed by Dorris, Cookie and Rachel.
