Match Report - 12 Nov 2011, Phoenix Hockey Club Ladies 2nd XI beat Thurrock 3
Phoenix had an advantage from the start with Thurrock being a player light but Thurrock were a good solid team and it took Phoenix a while to break them down. Eventually Phoenix were able to go ahead with a goal from Sophie Summers. Phoenix had the majority of the possession and were stringing some good passes together they just couldn't convert. Abby Swannell came close but her attempt was saved by the keeper. Eventually Phoenix were able to work the ball around the keeper and Faye Taylor was perfectly positioned to slot the ball in the corner.
In the second half Thurrock tried to push forward but were relying on some of the younger players in their team who weren't able to create many chances in the final third. Phoenix again were moving the ball round well but were unable to convert with several chances being stopped by the goal keeper. Finally Sophie Summers was able to beat the goalie and score Phoenix third goal.
A good performance by both teams.
