Hereford FC Girls U18 4 – 1 Hutton Juniors U18
This super Sunday saw a top of the
table clash as Victoria Park welcomed Hutton Girls, who had travelled
all the way from Weston-Super-Mare.
Hereford started the brighter of
the two sides and had a great chance early on to take the lead from the
penalty spot but it wasn’t to be as it was put wide of the goal. Both
teams were giving a good account of themselves as expected, with
goalkeeper Devereux reading the game well to clear any danger and settle
the home side.
It was Lauren Brown who broke the
deadlock to give Hereford the goal they needed, as she extends her lead
as the league’s top goalscorer, after latching onto a through ball.
Brown then doubled her tally for the morning halfway through the first
half, as the little fox in the box calmly placed the ball into the back
of the net. Hutton could’ve pulled a goal back shortly after, but
Devereux calmly back peddled to stop the ball bouncing over her into the
goal.
As the second half got under way,
Hereford started to keep hold of possession in midfield, which allowed
the attacking threat of Kenny and Layton to express themselves
positively going forward.
The home side them extended their
lead, as Bushell and Holman combined well down the left, with Brown
completing her hatrick as she pounced and coolly slotted the ball home
to make it 3-0. Captain Sian Bull grabbed the fourth, with Hutton
scoring a late consolation goal as the game ended 4-1.
At the halfway point, the Hereford
side sit four points ahead at the top of the table in what has been an
impressive few months for the girls.
