Women's 3rd XI Vs St Austell

Ladies 3's kicked off their league campaign today with what always promises to be a well contested match against St Austell.

An early opener from St Austell had the 3's on the back foot but some slick passing across the pitch saw Jo Maudsley put the goalie under pressure and win a short corner. A pin point injection from Rach Luiten to Jo, who made no mistake and buried her shot in the bottom corner. Game on.

St Austell clawed one back courtesy of their in form striker but Caradon made it difficult for them to capitalise, using their subs to keep legs fresh and intensity high and rising above the unsettled opposition.

A rousing half time team talk from Captain Rach and some encouragement from Julia Eldridge saw the 3's dominate the start of the second half, pushing St Austell deep into their own D. Some quick passing between Jo and Kerenza Bunt saw Jo skip past the keeper and equalise. The 3s continued to soak up any pressure and the game looked like a draw would have been a fair result until a final burst from a lone striker saw the game end 3-2 to St Austell.

A promising team performance with lots of positives to work on at training. Player princess of the Match was Jess, Poo went to Charlotte Tamblyn for......well, she knows. 

A week off next weekend before we face CSoM away on 12th October.
