Braintree Town 1 - 1 Chelmsford City

City started the game strong with Brownlie and Pavett dominating the midfield. An early Brown attack earned City a free kick, as she was brought down. Pavett stepped up to take the free kick and her shot was caught by the keeper. Ridings was next on the attack with a perfectly placed Pavett pass, Ridings took the ball round the defence and slotted the ball in the net. Both teams continued to battle and City dominated, towards the end City just eased their foot off the pedal.

The second half started with City attacking from the whistle and a well placed Brownlie pass to the hard working Jolly who's effort was caught by the keeper. A quick passing combination involving Wheeler, Brown and Jolly who's shot was again caught by the keeper. Wheeler and Brown both had their shots caught by the quick reacting keeper. Braintree were awarded a free kick on the edge of the box and Braintree's Bowman stepped up to fired a thunderous shot into the goal. City continued to attack and Alder who was trough on the goal was out witted by the quick hands of the keeper. Alder was again unlucky not to convert from a Garrett corner. Both teams played fantastically and all of the players are to be commended for their performance. We wish Braintree luck this season. Result 1-1
