Plainmoor Girls 1 v 4 Tiverton U13 Girls - Devon Girls League - February 2010

Chloe Williams fired in her second hatrick in two weeks as Tiverton remain top of the Devon Girls Youth League. Tiverton travelled to face a Plainmoor side who are the only other side in the league to beat reigning champions Ashmoor Ladies. Although the yellows already had two comfortable victories over the Torquay based side this season they knew this was going to be no easy task.

Tiverton started slowly but somehow found themselves on top of the game and playing with a high line managing to carve out early chances beating the Plainmoor back line with one simple ball. Chloe Williams, Paige Longworth - Wakeham and Courtney Butt all seen efforts saved by the Plainmoor keeper in the first ten minutes. Tiverton's constant pressure would surely pay off and soon enough it did after fantastic defending from Hollie Stone leaving her to find an open Leah Burridge whose long range effort was well followed up and tapped in by the lively Williams. It now looked as if the floodgates would open but Plainmoor re-adjusted and found themselves dealing with the long ball towards Williams as well as craving out opportunities for themselves and thanks to some organized defending by Hollie Stone and Grace Melluish keeping the ball out of Tiverton's net. The introduction of Billie Denny on the left changed the complex of the game and Tiverton began to settle, play keep ball and frustrate Plainmoor but their was not enough time to add a second before the break.

The second half seen some more encouraging passages of play from the young yellows and they soon led 2 - 0 after quick thinking and great distribution from Karin Underwood to find Courtney Butt wide on the left hand side leaving Butt to travel into the space and attack her opponent who she beat with ease and squared the ball to the on running Williams who had the easiest of tap ins. Denny and Burridge continued to work well as a pair and after a corner was plucked from the head of the Plainmoor attacker and distributed quickly again and Tiverton were able to gain a 3 goal lead as Denny brought the ball down, found Burridge who perfectly threaded Williams through and she confidently beat the last defender and fired in her hatrick. With Tiverton 3 - 0 up Longworth - Wakeham replaced Melluish and the yellows opted to go two up front to try to gain some more goals to add to their fantastic goal difference and they did exactly this as Butt continued to terrorize her opponent and this time went alone to smash home her 23rd goal of the season and Tivertons 4th. With five minutes remaining the yellows were unfortunately caught off guard and left 3 vs. 1 at the back and were punished by Plainmoor's Lucy Pritchard but time was against Plainmoor and the final whistle went to leave Tiverton with a 4 - 1 win.

Once again a fantastic team effort on a heavy pitch found it too hard to select a girl of the game so the award goes to the team for a great team display.

The young yellows are out of action next week but return the following week home to Ashmoor Ladies where much support would be appreciated.
