Women's 1st XI Vs Bridgewater

Caradon travelled to Bridgewater and came home with an 8-1 win and more importantly the three points. 
The hosts started well and took advantage of the time it was taking for Caradon to adjust to the hard pitch. Amy Batty, Emma Gliddon and Daisy Hunn had to be at thier best to prevent Bridgewater from opening the scoring.

As the first half continued, Caradon began to pressurise the homes defence. The keeper was having a great game, making numerous eye catching saves. Despite being frustrated in being unable to break the deadlock, the visitors stayed positive and patient. Libby Walsh was seeing more of the ball and it was her who set top goal scorer, Bizzie Dinnis, free and her follow up shot found the net.

The half time talk was about continuing the positive play and up the desire to win the ball back. Within minutes of the second half Dinnis had grabbed her second and the Bridgewater heads viasably dropped. Caradon tails were now up and they pushed forward with pace and power. Lucie Kay had a player of the match performance in the center of the pitch, breaking down play and switching play. 
Penalty corners have been working well recently and this form continued with Molly Walsh deflecting in twice. Captain, Clare Poad, got on the scoresheet herself when she reacted quickest to flick the ball over the flailing keeper. 
The game was now over as a contest and Dinnis revelled in the extra space that was allowed to her. The goal scoring machine added another three to take her match day tally to 5.

Bridgewater scored a late consolation goal to prevent the clean sheet but defensively Caradon were sound and a lucky strike was all that really threatened Helen Dellbridge's goal. 
Specail mention must be made to the selflessness attitude of the entire team, who worked together to overcome a potential banana skin. Good decision making and fantastic attitude was the real deciding factor in the outcome of the game.
