The ladies 6s faced a determined Maidstone side this weekend and the first 5 minutes were played in our half. The Ops settled and with a few good runs from our wingers we were back on top. However, after an unlucky interception, Maidstone broke away into our half and the attack ended in a goal. We stayed strong and kept the ball in their half, with plenty of opportunities to score but it wouldn’t go in! After a talk at half time, we started the second half strongly. The Ops attacked the Maidstone D and were awarded a penalty flick after a player stopped the ball with their feet on the line. Janet converted the penalty flick, getting us back into the game and levelling the score to 1-1. We then won a few short corners, which were cleared off the side but then we won another, and a strong, straight strike from Imogen put us in the lead with the final score 2-1.
