Chesterfield fall to two late goals.

The Women's first team travelled to Brigg for a mid-table class this weekend, with both teams entering the game on equal points. Despite a well matched playing field, it was an unfortunate defeat for the team, conceding 2 goals towards the latter end of the second half, with the final score ending 2-0.

With crucial members of the team absent the pressure was on to hold off Brigg’s tight press and structured set-up off the ball. Early leads through Brigg’s defensive players offered hope for an early goal but unfortunately the finish was not there. Chesterfield’s defence dominated Brigg’s relentless short corners with 'keeper Charlie Calderbank holding the realm. With some great saves across the goal the first half ended 0-0. Chesterfield kept up the pressure going into the first half, however, a slight dip in play and with tiredness starting to show Brigg were able to work their way into our defensive half scoring 2 goals, both tricky to defend.

Captain Nuala Kendellen says “we are going from strength to strength navigating this new league each week. Also our recent results do not reflect our work and commitment, we will always preserve. With key players missing this week, we put that extra effort into supporting each other and upholding our shared ethos of we win as a team and we lose as a team. I am proud of this squad every single game and every single training session. Onto the next, at home against 2nd in the league, next week, at Fortress St. Mary’s!”

Player of the match was awarded to Charlie Calderbank.
