Sunshine and a comfortable 5-0 win against Maldon for our final game of the season :)

Plenty of action in midfield and up front but a bit boring for Abi, in goal, who I don't think touched the ball once. Reduced action also for our defence, although Nicky kept herself amused by flopping to the ground a few times :)

Poor Mel took a nasty ball to the foot in the first half and had to limp off for an ice pack, but managed to return to the action and score a goal in the second - heroic! In fact we had a double-decker sandwich of goals: Lara - Ella - Lara - Mel - Lara. The two goals of special note were those of Ella - a short corner injection to nearby Susy, who then crossed to Ella, who flicked the ball carefully around the goalie - great composure. Also Lara's second goal, which was struck hard from the edge of the D, and flew like a rocket.

We decided to award the MoM to the whole team, as it was the last game, and we had an almost full house for match teas afterwards. (Thanks for arranging the "extras" Susy. Much appreciated. )

Well played everyone. We finish the season a respectable 7th in the division, with 25 points, only 1 point behind Old Southendians 3s.

Thanks to everyone for contributing to a nice team atmosphere throughout the season, whether we won or lost. Good look to those going off to uni. I hope next season will be equally as enjoyable.
