An afternoon pushback in Oxford meant the girls were ready and raring to go! From the first whistle, Wootton came out flying , linking up beautifully, making some great runs, and playing some good hockey.

Early pressure earned us our first PC of the game with a cracking strike from Fran that just missed the post. Oxford then found their groove, putting together some tidy passages of play and managing to sneak the first goal of the match.

Half-time came, and skipper Chloe’s team talk had the girls fired up and hungry for that equaliser. The second half started just as strong, chances kept coming, the rain started pouring and the girls fought right to the final whistle. Despite all the hard work and battling spirit, the backboard wasn’t found.

Final score: Oxford 1 – 0 Wootton

Player of the Match: Sally — for her rock-solid determination and an all-round stellar performance!

Heads held high, girls — a fantastic team effort full of fight, flair, and heart. On to the next one! 🏑
