Wapping Ladies 1st X1 1 - 1 Sudbury Ladies 1st X1
Sudbury Ladies 1st X1 travelled away to Broxbourne for a double header against Broxbourne and Wapping (The Later Sudbury meet later on this season in the league). This prooved a very important friendly for Sudbury, who quite clearly needed to shake off a few cobwebs.
Wapping started the stronger putting Sudbury immediately onto the back foot, but the defence of Emma Stephens, Hayley Spooner , Katie Clark, Becky Younger and keeper Sandra Mackay kept their efforts at bay with some good solid defensive work.
Sudbury put together some good passages of play, through the midfield of Kirsty Sloan, Chloe Mills, Becky Spencer, Ellie Colton and Tracey Caddock, all working very hard to pressurise the Wapping defence, with good runs made by Jess Sheperdson upfront, but it was wapping who managed to convert their first short corner in the first half, the initial strike saved by Mackay but wapping managed to play on the rebound to make the score at half time 1 - 0
Sudbury made a few changes in the 2nd half, and came out a little bit better than they started, managing to keep the opositions defence busy, although wapping had their chances they were denied by some good saves by Mackay and some good clearances from the defence. It was Sudbury however that were awarded a flick from an initial strike by Sloan thatwas stopped on the line by the Wapping defenders body. Casey Humpries bravely stepped up to convert an excallent penalty flick to leave the score 1 - 1
Sudburys 2nd game against Broxbourne was again another wake up call, Sudbury still looking like they needed to get out of the blocks. Sudbury made further changes between games trying players in different positions, again Sudbury were putting together some good passages of play and at times looking promising. Broxbourne opened the score from open play, which fired sudbury up who kept more possesion and eventually a goal came from a lovely hit from a lovely cross in from the left from Ellie Colton who found Kirsty Sloan at the top of the D who sent the ball to the back of the net. This game finished as the last did and in fact as all games at Broxbounrn as a 1 - 1 draw.
