In their final game this side of the Christmas break, the Women’s Football 1st Team claimed a strong 3-1 victory over Reading’s 1st Team on the 4th of December. Multiple players made the scoresheet as the team claimed their second victory over Reading, including a particularly impressive header scored by first team player and social sec Tabby Brown.
Following the match’s conclusion, I spoke to some of the players and their coach about the victory. First team player and Women’s Football Social Media Sec, Megan Regan, discussed the team’s success saying that ‘the second half was a lot better than the first, as we struggled to get into our flow and play our game in the first half and then the second half we figured out how each other wanted to play for the match and used it to our advantage and had some fabulous goals’. Club President and player Emma Green also gave her thoughts on the match, saying ‘it was very stressful at the beginning after we went one nil down but managed to pick up the pace and come away with a 3-1 win.’
Finally, I talked to First Team Coach Kate Wells who explained how ‘obviously, in the end, we managed to get the result. I think we dominated, they got lucky with a good free kick, but other than that, they really struggled to get out of their own half. I think the result is a testament to all the hard work that the girls put in’. To follow the Women’s 1st team in their cup and league pursuit next term check out @rh_womensfootball
