In the second half Newbury were playing up hill but with the wind. The game was much more evenly contested with Sue Hewett getting in an early shot on goal. But 10 minutes into the half Wantage scored a third with an excellent shot. The game was now opening up and Leanne Creese had a shot before Holly Randall, who was putting in another excellent performance in goal, made 3 good saves. On the half hour Roisin, now playing left back, won the ball and before nutmegging the midfielder and putting Lucy Ward away. Lucy won a corner from which Newbury almost scored, the ball being cleared off the line. Wantage went back on the attack and scored from the narrowest of angles after Holly initially saved well pushing the ball wide of the left hand post. There was still time for Lucy to shoot and from the resulting corner Leanne had a shot saved. Although Wantage were the stronger team 4-0 was a bit flattering but it must be said they took all four of their goals very well.

This is Newbury Reserves first season and several players have not played 11-a-side football before, indeed some of the players only started playing this season. They have only won one league match this season but the team has bonded very well, the spirit good and the signs are encouraging fro next season. Football will continue with training, friendlies and tournaments. New and experienced players are encouraged and welcome to come along.
