U14 League v Riverside B

Drawn 6-6

This was the final Under 14 match of the season against the league leaders who only fielded 5 players. Caz was injured from the earlier under 17 game so the match was played 5-a-side with Jen in goal and Carly up front. Newbury conceeded a penalty for hand ball to go 1 nil down. Rachel M then equalised which gave Newbury some hope. Riverside got an injury which reduced them to 4. Newbury went 2-1 up with another goal by Rachel but Riverside equalised again. Both teams scored again leaving Riverside 4-3 up at half time.

Caz came on as the goalkeeper at half time which enabled Newbury to stretch the game using the long ball to Rachel who scored 2 more goals in the second half and made another for Carly to score from close range. Chelsea had a lively game in midfield and Rachel B again had a strong game in defence. Newbury never quite managed to get away from Riverside and the final score was drawn at 6 all.
