Somerset County Women’s League division three south: Wellington Ladies 2, Watchet Town Ladies 3
The final scoreline did not reflect how well our Ladies played as they went down to a narrow defeat by Watchet at the Playing Field yesterday (Sunday, November 3rd).
They were only able to field 10 players against Watchet’s 11 and the visitors also had five subs they could call on.
The first half saw the Ladies play some good football, allowing lots of chances on goal.
Watchet got two rather fortunate goals, but Wellington pulled one back before half-time with some lovely play from Izzy Webb in defence through to captain Chloe Walker. She then played a pass through the Watchet defence for player-manager Ash Grabham-White to run on and shoot home.
The Ladies continued to play some really good football after the break, passing and communicating well.
It was muddy and slippery and Watchet slid another goal past keeper Grace Keen, who had made some outstanding saves, to make it 3-1.
Wellington pulled another goal back in the last 15 minutes from Chloe Walker who intercepted and ran through the middle. She saw the chance with a shot which deflected off a Watchet defender on its way into the net.
Manager Ash gave out three player-of-the-match awards because all the Ladies had played so well – winger Leah Bradbeer, keeper Grace Keen and defender Katie Sweetland.
