Womens 1 Vs Cambridge City 3

Away to Cambridge City 8th February 2020

St Neots Ladies 1s travelled away to second-place Cambridge City. On the back

of two important victories, the team were full of confidence and belief going

into this tricky fixture.

The game didn’t start well. The ladies found themselves a goal behind within

the first couple of minutes. A deflection from a tame shot on goal sent the ball

past a helpless Melody Harding in goal. Things didn’t improve from there.

Again, the Cambs forwards had far too much space and time in Saints’ D, which

enabled the home team to square the ball past Mel for an easy tap-in from a yard

out. A disappointing first half was finished off with a third City goal.

After a difficult half-time team talk, Saints approached the second half with a

much better tempo and looked far more positive going forwards. Unfortunately,

Saints conceded two more goals, which made victory impossible. There was

some consolation for the away team, as Eleanor Pybus pulled a goal back in the

final few minutes of the game.

Overall, an extremely disappointing afternoon for the Saints against a strong

Cambridge City team. With plenty to work on at training this Tuesday evening,

we go again next week.

Player of the match went to Tanya Sargeant for a solid performance at centre

back.
