West Ham United 3 Chelmsford City 1


Sunday 22nd February 2009 at Flanders Playing Field, Melbourne Road, East Ham. Kick Off 1.30pm. Essex County Girls League Under 11 Division A.

 Western Division Champions, West Ham looked good for their single goal half time lead although City caused problems for the West ham defence. Good link up play by Ashton Payne, Charlotte Barnard and Sophie Vale, opened up the Hammers defence on a number of occasions but could not find the goal they deserved.

  The second half saw West ham net two quick goals, one a terrific unstoppable shot from the edge of the box but City hit straight back to pull a goal back. Sophie Vale went on a mazy run, scything through the Hammers side before drilling the ball home to the delight of the supporters.

  Anna Copping pulled off a couple of stunning saves but both sides put on a great show of passing football played in a great spirit.
