Braintree 2 Ipswich East Suffolk 2
There was a confident feel about IES going into the fifth game of the season, with the team hoping that a change in formation would result in a change of fortune.
Improved distribution from the back by Amanda Todd and Claire Pearsons, coupled with much improved passing throughout the team produced a bright start for IES.
Hard work from the midfield and forward line resulted in a well-earned penalty corner that Maria Whelan struck and touched on into the goal by Anne Edney.
However, within only a few minutes Braintree got the equaliser.
The second half saw much of the same play with Shelley Pleasence and captain Linda Rose controlling the battle in midfield.
Another short corner earned IES the lead by a superbly struck shot from Whelan.
Unfortunately for IES, the hard fought win was not to be when Braintree equalised once again, however IES can take heart from a very credible performance.
