Ladies 3s A v Deal

The ladies 3s travelled to Deal for their final game of the season. Deal came out hard from the start as they needed a win to try and avoid relegation but the usual steadfast Ops defence were letting nothing through. The off the ball running by forwards Sophie Atwell and Natalie Harvey caused the Deal defence problems and put them under pressure. The pressure paid off when Emma Line turned the ball over in defence and fed Suzy Hill who played the ball through to Atwell. Atwell then dinked her way through the Deal defence to slip the ball past the keeper. Deal pushed hard for an equaliser in the second half, winning a series of short corners where Ops held firm until a deflection at the post managed to sneak its way in. Ops didn’t let their heads drop and went looking for a winner but were unable to find the goal to give them all 3 points
