> Kendal Wattsfield 3 - 1 Dalton (Sunday 18th October 2009)
Kendal Wattsfield entertained Dalton in their first home match
of the season and ran out worthy 3-1 winners. Doing most of the
attacking and playing some excellent passing football, KW created
numerous chances, but could not find a way past a very good Dalton
keeper, who made two outstanding saves in the first half. With
half time approaching KW finally broke the deadlock, when Jo
Thompson received the ball on the edge of the penalty area, beat
the last defender and shot high into the goal. However, with only
thirty seconds remaining, Dalton equalised with their first shot
on goal. A good down their right was crossed into the box for the
centre forward to poke home.
The beginning of the second half saw Dalton come more into the match, but KW soon wrestled back the initiative and began to create more chances. On the hour a stroke of luck allowed them to retake the lead, as Faye Armstrong, the keeper and a defender all slide towards the ball. After a few ricochets, the ball struck Faye in the face and into the unguarded goal. With five minutes left the game was put beyond doubt, as, again, Faye Armstrong found herself in space and slotted the ball past the advancing keeper.
