Stoke City Ladies Reserves 0 Wyrley Ladies Reserves 0
Wyrley put in an impressive performance against top of the league Stoke City, this was the first time Stoke have not scored this season which shows strength and quality in Wyrley’s defence. For the First 15 minutes Wyrley played with 10 players and held their own until Tash Lilly arrived to make 11. The game seemed even with both sides pressing forward and creating chances. Once again Jody Richards was in prime form in defence helped by Kirsty Watkins, Steph Taylor and Emily King. Having Chelsea, Vikki, Ashleigh, Lauri and Liv missing enabled Rachel Hall to make her debut moving up from our u16’s team. The second half started and Wyrley had 3 clear cut chances to score, Kelly Isaac’s just slicing the post twice and a brilliant through ball from Kelly Highman saw Rachel Hall burst through the offside trap only to see her shot also hit the post. Good movement from Mary Chandler who went on numerous runs at the Stoke defence, also seeing Leanne Mitchell firing a shot from outside the area pushed round the post from the Stoke keeper. At the other end Lauren Cresswell in goal pulled off a couple of good saves from close range. Rachel Hall almost gave Wyrley the win in the last few minutes after winning a header on the edge of the box and race through only to see her effort slice the post again.
Well done girls another great performance
