Naiset - Top Team (8 - 5)

This weekend we had two important games, with both teams that we played (Top Team & Crackers) starting the weekend on equal points on the table with us.

This was our first game after a 3 week break so it took a little while for everyone to settle into the game. We opened the scoring after 7 minutes & scored again after just 18 seconds.  Up until this point the game had been very even, but we seemed to get on top during the second half of this period & went to the first break leading 3-0.

However, something happened in that break? I'm still not quite sure what?.but our second period was very disappointing.  Even with limited players, Top Team was able to put us under a lot of pressure & kept possession of the ball much better than us. They won the period 1-4 & so at 4-4, the game began to look much different.

Happily, our players started the third period much stronger & returned to our game plan, and three goals within the space of three minutes really changed the game for us.  Top Team were able to score another late goal, but by this time we had secured the win.
