As dusk began to settle over the pitch, Wanderers aimed to bounce back from their previous week’s performance.
From the outset, Wootton established their intent, dominating possession and displaying teamwork.

The defence effectively utilised transfers round the back, ensuring that every member of the team contributed to advancing up the pitch.
Despite creating numerous opportunities within Leighton Buzzards defensive circle, Wanderers were unable to convert these chances into goals, missing the mark by mere inches. At the opposite end, Wootton’s defence held firm, with tight man2man to marking preventing leighton buzzard from breaking through. The first half showcased one of the best performances from the ladies 2s this season, but at the break the scoreline remained untouched.

The second half commenced similarly to the first, with Wootton maintaining control of the ball and looking for an elusive breakthrough.
With tired legs and no subs, the girls persisted effectively. Just as it seemed Wootton would find an equaliser, Leighton buzzard seized an opportunity during a counter attack which resulted in a penalty corner, from which Leighton buzzard struck a powerful strike that found the backboard, putting them ahead 1-0.

Recognising that time was of the essence, Wootton threw everything they had into the final 15 minutes, determined to equalise. They created a few more reasonable chances, but Leighton Buzzards defence stood resolute, denying any further opportunities.

The match concluded at 5pm with Leighton Buzzard claiming all 3 points.

Girl of the game was awarded to Kat for her outstanding efforts and determination in midfield where she not only supported her teammates but also showcased her relentless drive throughout the match.
