Match Report: Spartans Overpower City In The End

Southampton Spartans vs Oxford City - 15.02.16
17-21 Loss

The game was intense. We all worked hard and created great opportunities for goals while defending fiercely. Ruth started and finished the scoring as part of her classic three goals.
Becca pressured her player and won the ball for us numerous times.

Nick and Andy Nye used the whole pitch and multiple subbings to chase each other across both divisions. They both showed off some beautiful scoring moves and perfect penalties.
James scored the first of his hat trick just moments after being subbed on. Dan defended and intercepted brilliantly. Gaz kept his player engaged and off the post.

At half-time we had a narrow lead but in the second half Southampton put more pressure on. Close to the end we were at 16 - 16 but Southampton were determinedly scoring and pulled three away. 

Finally we tried five minutes of shooting madness, which was great fun but we actually ended up conceding one more and finished losing by four. So we lost but we are not defeated. The team work and individual performances were excellent. We should be proud of how we played against top class opposition. Let's carry this spirit on into our next match!

MVP - Becca Brennan
Scorers - Nick (5), Ruth (3), James (3), Dave (2), Becca, Dan, Amy, Jo
