An early morning pushback in a very wet Witney set the tone for a tough game.

Despite the rain rolling in during warm-up, the Wootton girls were eager and focused after a great team talk from Bec and Chloe.

With only the bare 11, everyone knew it would be a challenge, but the girls started strong. From the whistle, both teams were hungry for goals, creating some really promising passages of play. Wootton had their chances but couldn’t quite find the backboard, and Witney took the lead from a short corner.

A motivating half-time chat pushed the girls to come out firing again in the second half. The rain got heavier and frustration grew, but Wootton kept battling right to the final whistle. Despite the effort, it wasn’t meant to be, and the game ended 3–0 to Witney.

A tough result, but a huge shift from every player, Roll on next week.
