Hutton 6 Chelmsford City 1
Sunday 26th April 2009 at Shenfield School, kick-off 10.30am. Essex
County Girls League Under-13 Division A.
This was a match that will not live long in the memory of Chelmsford City’s
under-13’s who endured a nightmare start, finding themselves four goals adrift
with just 23 minutes played. Far too many players had an off-day against a very
slick and pacy Hutton side who took full advantage of every gift that came their
way. The visitors did briefly threaten to claw their way back with both Leanne
Miles and Jennifer Baldock seeing shots well saved.
Hutton were soon back in control though, netting two further goals early in the second-half. The only real bright spot of the game for City arrived in the latter stages when Sophie Dorrington cleverly beat her marker before cutting into the area and unleashing a magnificent angled shot into the top corner.
However, it was to be just a consolation, with City thankful to ‘Girl of the Match’ Christie Lucking whose fine goalkeeping helped avoid an even heavier defeat.
Chelmsford City: Christie Lucking, Jade Harrington, Ellie Annan, Leanne Miles, Hannah Tomsett, Emily Kendle, Laura Massey, Jennifer Baldock, Ailish Hunt, Karina Fox, Sophie Dorrington, Olivia Robinson, Gemma Plank.
Referee: Roy Woodger (Hutton).
