Open Age Women's Reserve Team - Lepton Highlanders Women’s

Another free scoring game for our Reserves again this weekend! 

We knew Lepton would want to be aggressive from minute one to make amends from their first league game defeat, which allowed us to take full advantage of the space available for us all over the pitch. 

The speed of play in and out of possession helped us create many goal scoring opportunities which made it hard for the opposition to keep up. 

Our constant threat in the first half allowed us to create many chances, resulting going into half time with a 9-0 lead. 

We knew regardless of what the score was, we couldn’t switch off and had to keep momentum flowing and not allow lepton back into the game at all. 

Second half saw Lepton score early from the penalty spot, our first goal conceded in the league, with Horsforth taking the foot of the gas. 

With some encouragement, the reserves managed to switch back on and score another 4 in the second half to reach double figures in back to back games, 25 goals in 2 games so far! With Ellie and Lyra opening their accounts for the season, and Sophie taking her tally to 8, our top goal scorer so far! 

Goalscorers: 

- Sophie Breaks x4 

- Leela Jones x4 

- Izzy Day x3

- Lyra Leng x1

- Ellie Collinson x1 

POTM: Leela Jones

The ability to play on both wings effectively with her wonderful left foot helped create many goal scoring opportunities for herself and the team! Her attitude throughout the game was top and deserved the 4 goals and MOTM

Team Player: Evie Edgley

Her league debut, a young talented CB who is so strong and can read the game well at such a young age, working hard constantly to ensure Lepton couldn’t have a sniff at goal. She commanded the back line well and is slotting in perfectly. 

Next Match: a local derby with Headingley United, hoping to continue our unbeaten run to make it 3 in 3 🤞🏻
