Women's 1st XI Vs Penzance

Caradon entertained Penzance in a rescheduled league game and ran out worthy winners. 
With both teams keen to play passing hockey, the game was end to end and proving to be a good spectacle for the sideline supporters.

Penzance took an early lead but this did not deter the Caradon team, and they began to control the center of the pitch with stand in captain, Clare Mitchell and Hannah Bladon linking well. A neat pass from Mitchell found Bizzie Jeffery with room to run towards goal and with defenders marking other players, Jeffery continued her run unchallenged and finished in style. 
1-1 at the break and Caradon were playing the better hockey but despite numerous penalty corners being awarded could not find the goal they deserved. 
Penaznce took the lead yet again when they converted a penalty flick but Caradon showed great character to continue to play some quality hockey. The equaliser eventually can from a penalty corner when Libby Walsh scrambled the ball home and Caradon could sense the win. 
Any Penzance attacks were thwarted by Amy Batty, Molly Walsh and Emma Gliddon all showing good composure in thier tackles.

The winning goal can from another Jeffery power strike and Caradon were in no mood to let the lead slip. 
This was a great team performance with all players contributing to  the 3 points that lift Caradon to fifth in the table with one week remaining before the Christmas break.
