Wootton ladies 3s welcomed Abingdon 2s for a top of the table clash. Wootton knew this game was going to be tough and set out to be disciplined and resolute from the start.

The first half was evenly matched with Abingdon trying to create chances but struggling to break down a solid defensive display from Wootton, the first goal of the game came from Wootton’s 1st penalty corner, another well worked set piece was swiftly and accurately dragged out by Amy, allowing Julie time to place a firmly struck shot into the bottom corner.

Abingdon managed to equalise before halftime though, when some good play down the wing led to a firm strike in goal which couldn’t be stopped.
In the second half Abingdon tried to press home their advantage of having substitutes to test Wootton’s fitness and defensive discipline but with Wootton putting pressure on the Abingdon defence, a mistake on a pass back was pounced upon by Julie who was able to use her pace to run into the circle and beat a defender before, lifting the ball on her reverse over the outrushing keeper.

Having regained the lead wootton were determined not to let it slip and worked hard until the final whistle, in what was a fantastic, organised display which leaves them top of the league.

Bec won man of the match for her work rate an excellent tackles, playing against a strong and quick attacking team down her side of the pitch.
