Match Report -- Season 2006-7
North East Hants Youth League - Girls Under 14
21st January 2007
Camberley 2 AFC Newbury 8
The visitors started well and dominated all of the early possession but in front of goal they failed to take advantage of some easy opportunities that came their way. The home team took confidence from this and began to find their feet and were rewarded with virtually their first attack in the tenth minute. The ball was knocked long and when Chelsea Allen misjudged the bounce just outside the box it left Honor Ramos stranded and their attacker made no mistakes shooting past her to give the home team the lead. Newbury reaction was immediate and the scores were level just three minutes later when Elizabeth Swallow dribbled her way past the last two defenders and then slid the ball home from the penalty spot with a very precise finish. Katie Saunders gave the visitors the lead five minutes later when she hit a right foot drive from 20 yards and the shot whizzed past the keeper before she had time to see it. Newbury continued to press and the home team struggled to get back into the game and it was soon three when Victoria Summerfield beat the offside trap with her pace and as the keeper rushed out she slid the ball past her, went round and tapped the ball into empty net. Elizabeth Swallow grabbed her second just before half time when Lucy Mortimer burst down the right and her cross slid under the keeper’s body and was met at the far post for another simple tap in from close range.

The second half continued where the first left off with Newbury dominating most of the play and again they had numerous chances to stretch the lead but some good goal keeping prevented that. A goal was coming but it took till twenty minutes into the second half and after a goal mouth scramble Lucy Mortimer fired home from close range in a crowded box. Honor came out of goal and not for the first time this season she was amongst the goals almost immediately with a fierce shot from just inside the box after being played in by Ruby Oliver. Rhiannon Gainall tended goal and she made a few good stops with Newbury getting complacent. Lucy also added a second but this time with a fine solo effort finishing off a good run down the right with a strong accurate shot from a narrow angle. Sophie Harvey made it eight when she hit a sweet volley from outside the box which looped over the keepers head then hit the underside of the bar and dropped into the goal. The home team grabbed a consolation goal at the death with the visitors pushing forward and the striker for the second time made no mistake in front of goal.
