GIRLS
Bromsgrove Sporting Girls 18TL
They played Coventry Copsewood away last Saturday and despite being in control for much of the game, they once again found a way to lose from a winning position.
They started well, knocking the ball around nicely and going into a 1-0 lead after 10 mins. It was 1-1 after Coventry scored from a rare attack. Bromsgrove kept on pressing and were rewarded with a second goal, but the opposition were made of stern stuff and rallied – Bromsgrove gave away two soft goals, both from outside the penalty area. 3-2 at half time.
The second half was a strange affair, as Bromsgrove continued to attack but could not convert them. Down the other end, it was a different story, with another goal to make it 4-2. On a hot day, Bromsgrove’s determination dropped. They still made chances but were hit on the break a few times and they eventually lost 7-2. Life in the Premier League is rough!
