Women's 2nd XI Vs Camborne SOM

Caradon 2’s travelled down to Penryn to play top of the league Camborne SOM. Caradon knew this would be a tough match, but brimming with confidence they came out looking to stop the oppositions perfect run in the league.
Caradon’s defence held strong after numerous attempts at goal from the opposition. Camborne were awarded a short corner which unfortunately found the backboard to give the home side the lead. 
Caradon kept their composure and continued to put pressure on Cambornes defence. After a few short corner attempts, Charlotte Reed’s powerful strike beat the keeper and put Caradon back in the game.

A determined Camborne team were hungry for the win, however though a more concentrated team effort along with the force in goal that is keeper Zoe Harris, Caradon battled against Cambornes attacking runs. 
Unfortunately, after relentless pressure from the opposing team, Caradon eventually gave way to concede another goal to put the visitors behind for the second time in the match.

Caradon came back fighting, not  giving up to challenge the oppositions defence for the final time. Venessa Scott drove the base line catching Camborne off guard, producing a shot on goal which deflected into the path of Reed, whose mid air strike sailed past the keeper to equalise in the last five minutes of the game. Up until today’s game Camborne had only conceded two goals in the entire season! 

Camborne had the chance to seal victory in the final minute of the game, when one of Cambornes strikers broke through Caradons defence to set up a one on one with the GK, but Player of the Match Harris closed her down to pull off a fine save, giving Caradon a well deserved 2-2 draw.

This was by far the best performance to date by the ever improving 2s with every player working hard to grind out a fantastic result.
