Magpies Ladies IV 5 Broadland II 0
THE first match back after the Christmas break saw Magpies, third in the league, take on Broadland, one place ahead of them in second. Thus a game Magpies were out to win.
The home side started strongly, and went a goal up early on in the half, a Treacle Snelling strike from a short corner. Magpies enjoyed the majority of possession throughout the first half, attacking Broadland's goal, but only made another breakthrough minutes before the half time whistle with a Rachael Clifford goal from close range.
The second half saw much of the same, Magpies dominating the play, getting their third goal midway through the half, another good Clifford effort. Clifford completed her hat-trick shortly after capping a fine personal performance. Laura Schultheiss grabbed a late fifth goal for Magpies, a well worked free hit routine ending in a cracking strike from the top of the D.
A deserved victory for the 4th's, and credit must be given to all 14 players.
