Best game of the season so far against a fast paced and well organised Triton team.

A real test for the 5's this week with an away visit to in form Triton. End to end stuff and the pace never let up for the whole 70 minutes. A really strong determined team performance.

Timperley pressed high and put Triton under lots of pressure in our attacking half for the first 10 minutes but against the run of play Triton broke through to score. Within 20 minutes they scored again to make it 2 - 0.

Sam Paterson's amazingly loud stick tackle saw the first card of the day and shoppers in near by Alsager must have heard the sound on composite stick on composite stick !

Natalie Jewitt nearly colapsed in shock as her great effort in the 'D' nearly made it over the line after a great little touch.

The team stuck to the game plan and pressed high getting the reward of a series of penalty corners and Suzy Lacon converted a text book deflection at the near post just before half time to make it 2-1.

Regrouping for the second half the pace of the game didnt let up and Triton continued to be dangerous and put pressure on Sue, Sam and Katrina at the back.

A hard fought equaliser was gained through Angela with an old style drive in from the ring wing to the back line and the ball coming back to the 'P'spot with Suzy and Erin queuing up but Angela made it 2-2. Suzy was attempting to argue with the umpire about being impedied whilst Angela was converting the cross !

Triton never gave up and within no time we were back to 3-2 down !

With injuries and enforced changes Grace moved up to right wing, Shelagh attempted to master the left midfield before picking up a green card for a poor attempt at something resembling a tackle from the wrong side !

More pressure and we win another penalty cormer with 5 minutes to go and convert from Shelagh's first strike after a cool dummy from Suzy to fox the keeper as the shot came in! 3 - 3

We controlled the last 5 minutes running the clock down and banking the point. A hard shift for the girls but another excellent team performance including Phoebe's debut in goal.
