The pressure was on, but Caradon held most the possession with some impressive individual and team play.  Five minutes before the half time whistle Laura Hill took Caradon ahead. With a powerful strike on goal which seen the ball heading to the top right corner followed by lots of cheers from the yellow shirts.

A motivational half time talk from joint captain Sharon Jeffery, quick swig then it was guns blazing for the second half!
