As the umbrella brigade watched on, the girls didn’t let the horrible weather deter them from a committed performance.

It was an even start with both sides set up with one striker and trying to control the midfield.

Likewise, Thea was looking strong down our left wing and sent in several lovely weighted balls for Isla to run on to, with shots saved by the keeper.

Sophie played the first half in goal and stood firm.

The second half opened up more as the conditions worsened.

Thea went in goal and Sophie joined Isla up top as a second striker.

Only a few minutes in Lyla, who’d switched to left mid played a lovely through ball which released Sophie who took a touch and fired high and hard rippling the net more than the 50 mph wind

Erin and Lyla had a good battle in the middle all game long.

Euxton did create chances, the best a low awkward effort which squirmed under Thea before she pounced on at stopping the ball on the line The linesman receiving high praise from the soggy common edge faithful.

A few more chances came for the sharks through Isla, Sophie and Lyla but we couldn’t find the net again.
