Match report: Chesterfield 1s Away to Wakefield 28/9

Following a win against Pocklington last week, confidence was high but against a strong Wakefield team the match ended with a 3–1 loss to Chesterfield. Beth Davies scoring for Chesterfield in the second half.

Chesterfield started well with plenty of possession in the Wakefield half and gained a short. Megan Marr was unlucky with a drag flick which hit the top left post.
Chesterfield found themselves on the back foot after this, Wakefield’s first goal was a well struck wide shot which took Chesterfield by surprise.

The second goal was a well executed short corner from Wakefield.
In the second half Chesterfield conceded a controversially awarded short corner resulting in Wakefield’s third goal.

Chesterfield responded immediately from pushback with a well worked team goal, the move started on the left hand side, through the middle, transferring to the right wing. The ball was driven to the back line and crossed into Beth Davies who scored.

Momentum continued with Chesterfield finding themselves more frequently in the Wakefield half but sadly they were unable to capitalise further.
Team morale was high at the end of the match with the club’s anniversary 125 event that evening.
