6 wins in a row for Ladies 1sts

In fine form and with confidence high, the Ladies 1st team started postively and immediately had Hull on the back foot.

After several promising attackes, and a flurry of short corners, the deadlock was finally broken when Steph Jones played a through ball and Rachel Hoyle her found herself one on one with the keeper and struck the ball confidently into the bottom corner.

Boosted by the goal, Halifax continued to apply the pressure, and another series of short corners followed but were unable to convert the pressure.

1-0 at half time.

Determined to make their superiority count, Halifax again started the second half the brighter of the two teams.

Defensively Halifax stayed strong and pushed very high allowing the forward line to press high on the Hull D.

The second goal finally came, from a short corner. Kate Walsh scored from a deflection off the keeper in the top right corner. Kate had followed in on a Jenny Brennan strike at the keeper from the top of the D.

At 2-0 Halifax relaxed but continued to dominate. Hull had a few isolated attacks.

Hull did manage to pull a goal back. A move down the right, saw the Hull winger break free, crossing the ball into the D for the striker to cleverly lay off the ball to the oncoming midfielder, bypassing the keeper, and the midfielder scored into the empty net.

Halifax went straingt on the attack from the restart, and after a good run and cross into the D from Danielle O'Neil, Dani Parker scored a reverse sweep goal, beating the keeper to the ball and slotting into the corner

Late on in the game Hull managed to force a couple of short corners, and from one routine Emma Fradgley saving a looping deflected shot on the line, taking the ball at head height and clearing.

Halifax won 3-1 (6 wins in a row).

Man of the match Steph Jones.
