L3 v Bicester 23/03/24

In a bright and early 11am pushback, the Ladies 3s faced Bicester. The weather conditions were unpredictable with sun, hail, wind and rain all making an appearance throughout the game.

A halftime team talk from Sally and Sarah delivered motivation. The second half began with renewed determination from the mighty Wanderers. Jess played a fantastic ball through to Izzy on the P spot who skilfully slotted it past the keeper to start the team’s comeback.
Felicity showcased her pace and skill when she drove the ball down the wing, passing it to Jess who assisted Martha in scoring the second goal at the back post. The score was now level at 2-2

Bicester had a lucky break, leading to a penalty corner that resulted in a goal. However Wanderers did not let their heads drop and came back even stronger. Jess delivered a perfect cross to find Martha at the P spot who confidently, for the second time round, found the net.
Wootton’s defence stood strong with Sarah (GK) making some crucial saves and young Emily making cracking tackles and clearances. The game came to a close and the final score stood at 3-3

MATCH REPORT L2 v Kidlington

Ladies 2s vs Kidlington 20/04/24

The ladies 2s played their final match of the season away against Kidlington in warm temperatures. With only 11 players, a lot of hard work was required for wanderers. The game started with Wootton looking strong and fierce, displaying great passing and control on the ball. However, Kidlington quickly turned up the intensity and managed to score the first goal of the game. Despite the setback, Wanderers did not let their spirits drop and continued to attack with determination.

Unfortunately, Wootton couldn’t find the equaliser despite their best efforts. Kidlington, before half time, capitalised on a penalty corner and scored another goal taking a 2-0 lead into half time. During half time, the girls had a tactical team talk which fired them up for the second half.

In the second half, wanderers came out attacking hard. They created several opportunities and a comeback looked promising. The defence, led by keeper Chloe, put up a strong resistance and denied the home side any further goals.

Gill found herself unmarked at the back post and seized on the opportunity to score, reducing the deficit to 2-1.Both teams were eager for more goals but Kidlington managed to snatch another goal, extending their lead to 3. Despite their best efforts, Wanderers couldn’t find a way to break down the defence. The full time whistle blew, concluding the game with a 3-1 defeat for Wanderers.

The final players player award went to Keeper Chloe for her outstanding saves and clearances through the whole game. After an unexpected promotion last season…the girls have done extremely well to remain put in the league they are now in!

MATCH REPORT L1 v Witney

L1 v Witney 20/04/24

The ladies 1s made it to CCS this weekend for their last game of the season V Witney 3s, in fact they were WWHC’s last game of the season!
The sun was shining, the attitude was positive, and with promotion clinched, the girls wanted to have a fun last run out.

LB Anna made lots of leads up the pitch whilst RB Connie covered Witney’s attacks brilliantly. The midfield showed off their perfectly practiced passing triangles once again and it wasn’t long until the hard work paid off.

After some dry spells Sophie decided she wanted the ball, with lots of calling for the ball from the rest of the team she was adamant this goal was hers, and thank god she didn’t pass, she once again lined up with a backswing and smashed the ball into Witney’s net!!

Not long after Amie dribbled around the oppo’s defence as we have seen her do time and time again with ease, she pushed the ball towards the bottom left of the goal, cheeky Jess lunged in on post and dinked the ball in to claim the goal as her own!

Although missing Michelle we had some lovely halftime oranges and set up again. The second half was quieter, lots of goals were lined up but Witney’s keeper was very solid and kept out attempts out of her goal. Down the WWHC end GK Jade did lots of walking around her D but not much touching of the ball as her defence kept all of Witney’s attacks at bay!!!

The final whistle blew and the ladies had a nice 2-0 win in their bag to round out the season, we will be moving up to SC div 3 north in September and fingers crossed we’ll be in for another exciting year!
