L2s secure the points against strong Bishops Stortford side

The Ladies 2s were back at home after their brilliant performance & 5-0 win last week.  Bishop Stortford are always a tough opposition but despite a few injuries, Leighton Buzzard were raring to go! They were determined to get another win!

Carey debuted for the team, started in goal for the first half, looking solid from the start. Leighton started strong, aggressively attacking Stortford with some 'sexy' hockey. 

Lorna & Emma cleared some great balls, with Anna holding the middle, while also expertly distributing the ball to the inners Cookie & Mel, meeting every ball. 

By pushing up as a unit Leighton managed to win several short corners, while trying to negotiate Stortford's advancing keeper. 

Charlie smashed in a great strike from a short corner slip from Cookie leaving the ladies 1-0 up at half time.

Leighton 2s came out battling second half, with Jo in goal this time. The team found themselves under more pressure but between Jo, the impassable Rach and Emma, Stortford couldn't convert. Shutts & Rhi kept battling for every ball, while putting some great balls in too.

The determined forward line of Shazza, Charlie & Lisa, as well as Cookie chased down every ball in the D. Doris also made some lovely attacking runs, which Stortford struggled to break down. It soon paid off with Lorna setting up Cookie with a fab strike, closely followed 2 minutes later by Cookie again assisting Lisa to slap home 3-0 win. 

MOM deservedly goes to Cookie, who hassled all game, very closely followed by Rach aka 'Gandalf'. As always lots of votes all over the squad.....another sign if a great team performance!
