Ipswich East Suffolk II 2 Bury St Edmunds III 2
IES started their league journey with several new faces and were quickly reminded of the need for organisation when Bury scored their first soon after push back.
With a definite shape IES attacked in number thanks to a strong midfield quartet. Pressure paid off following a free hit outside the D which was crossed accurately by Diana Alexander and finished instinctly by Hannah Reynolds.
After further pressure and fine touches by Ellie Eddy, IES were awarded a short corner which was struck confidently by Alexander to see IES take the lead.
However, the game did not all go IES's way and Bury equalised before half time.
With both sides determined to make a break through, the second half was an open affair with commitment from all. In the end the September sun took its toll and the game ended with a point a piece.
