ONE down two to go..
Another point on the board and another step closer to maintaining our WSL1 status.
We started the game brightly and could have gone in at the break with a goal or two.
Unfortunately we couldn’t capitalise on the chances created and at half time the score remained 0-0.
Two minutes into the second half we managed to grab a goal.
A quick free kick down the line led to a cross into the box and a bullet header into the back of the net (on initial viewing).
Although Fletch has promised me it hit her in the face, looking back at the highlights I’m pretty sure she’s done a Maradona.
Oh well, a goal is a goal..
Once we got the goal Birmingham responded well and started to come back into the game.
We defended diligently but couldn’t keep them out and they equalised.
The score remained 1-1 at the final whistle and a fair result for both sides.
On reflection it was a hard-earned point from a team that are carrying great form coming into the game as they hadn’t been beaten in seven consecutive fixtures.
We now move on to another home game against Notts County this weekend with the opposition coming off the back of a 5-1 defeat to Man city last weekend.
Last time we played Notts we drew 2-2 in a very open game in which we felt we could have taken all three points after going ahead twice.
Hopefully we can continue to maintain the momentum in this game with Notts hopefully doing the same.
A 5-1 win would suit us lovely.
In other news, my team-mate and Wales’ top goalscorer (she told me to say that) Helen Ward has now got her own blog in the Sport Magazine.
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so thank you Hels.
If you have any free time after reading this make sure you go check it out, if not I wouldn’t worry, I doubt you’re missing much.
I wish her all the best as I’ve set the bar pretty high, no doubt she’ll fall under it but God does love a trier.
