It was a cold, windy and rainy day. The eleven of us headed out to face Cambridge Uni 3s. Amelia was playing her first game for the 1s. We won the first pushback but we were soon under pressure. We defended short corners well but they managed to score 3 goals in the first 20 minutes. Not even Lauren diving towards the goal and skinning her knee could stop the 2nd one.

Shortly after Hannah took an elbow to the head and had to go off for the rest of the half. With only 10 players we managed to prevent any more goals. Half time 3-0 to Cambs Uni.

In the second half we worked hard to attack their end. One chance came from Amelia who stormed into the D and won a short corner. We had a couple of chances from shorts but we couldn't convert them. Another was Jess picking up the ball midfield and driving it up the pitch. Then 5 minutes before the end Cambs Uni broke through again and scored their final goal. It ended 4-0 to Cambs Uni. We all went to warm up. Player of the match votes were spread very widely this week, and it was won jointly by Rachael, Lauren and Amber.
