Match Reports 2009-10
> Kendal Wattsfield 2 - 0 Abbeytown (Sunday 28th February 2010)
With both teams not having played for a few weeks, it took them time to adapt
to the playing conditions. Once Kendal Wattsfield settled into their usual
passing game they began to create chances, Jo Thompson had several
opportunities to put KW ahead but weak shots made it easier for the
Abbeytown keeper. However, Abbeytown always looked dangerous on the
counterattack and Nikita Morton reacted tremendously to save from close
range and keep the scores level at half time.
Dominating the match more in the second period, KWs shooting was initially wayward, but when Becca Knowles broke through, on the hour mark, she calmly passed the ball into the goal for a deserved lead.
Abbeytown became more adventurous and were unlucky not to equalise when a shot from the edge of the box bounced back off the post into Nikitas hands. It looked as if one goal might be enough, but in the 82nd minute Michelle Raven crossed to the unmarked Faye Armstrong at the back post and KW wrapped up all three points.
This was an excellent performance from all in KWs squad and showed that they have plenty of strength in depth.
