MATCH REPORT Ladies 2 vs Witney 4

A tough home fixture for Wootton Wanderers L2s against a sharp Witney 4s side. Witney took control early and put away two first‑half goals.

Halftime was straight talking: more energy, more teamwork, and more bite.

The response was exactly what was needed. Wootton came out in the second half with proper intent — pressing harder, linking up better, and finally putting Witney under pressure. Azaria kicked off the comeback with a well‑taken goal, and Lily‑May added another to keep the fight alive.

Witney stayed clinical and added three more, finishing the game 5–2, but the second‑half shift from Wootton was miles better than the opening forty.

Azaria — relentless work rate, strong on the ball, and a well‑deserved goal. A standout performance.
