Womens 3 Vs Hertford 4

An important league winning game started with the team in full attack. Many attempts were made on the Hertford goalkeeper who repelled them all. In a flurry of activity midway through the half, Hertford counter attacked and an unmarked player drilled home a goal against st. Neots to go into the lead. This spurred saints on and seconds from the half time whistle, Summer Payne slotted home a well worked team goal to go into the break on level pegging.

After half time, with a slight change of some players’ positions, the saints scoring machine got under way. Summer Payne soon added to her score, followed up by one from Kira Herbert. The opposition folded under pressure and saints gk saw little activity in the second half. Strong work from the defence and midfield saw Payne score her hat trick and seal a now comfortable win. This leaves the team 15 points ahead, with nearest rivals requiring to win all of their games and score over 40 goals and saints not score any points, if they are to contend for top position. So a mathematical but improbable situation sees saints going into next week to seal the top spot for the second season running. 

Such fun!
