70s Climbing Up The Table In The GFA WFL
After a disappointing first series of games which saw us sit in 8th place of 10 at that point, CTWFC Over 70s had a much better set of results in today's fixtures.
First up were WSM, who started the day on top of the league having not lost a game in the first round of matches. We beat them 1 v 0 with a powerful shot from Mel, and played really well in order to hang on to that lead.
We then met Bristol United. In the first half we were all over them but just could not score, whilst Bristol didn't even manage a shot. We even conspired to miss a penalty. In the second half, two mistakes opened the door for them and they took both opportunities and ended up winning 2 v 0. Very disappointing.
However, we bounced straight back in game 3 against a Bournemouth team who started the day in 3rd place, and featured three England players in their line up. Another cracking shot from Mel, followed by digging in defensively to hold the lead - aided and abetted by our post and the crossbar, and Rob - meant that we ended up winning by a single goal again. A very good result.
We finished the day with a match versus Cirencester Phoenix in a very even game where both sides cancelled each other out, with an eventual 0 v 0 draw being the outcome.
So a much improved performance and with only three points separating the top five, we're in touch with something to build on in the next series of games... in 2025.
