A hard fought physical match with the low sun posing a challenge for the duration of play . A defensive short corner in the first seven minutes led to Wanderer’s goal, but only after two great saves from Charlotte. Grove picked up and under pressure made good runs up both sides for the remainder of the first half.
The second half again was competitive with some more well defended short corners from Grove and open play.
A great run from Iona in the last couple minutes got a short corner awarded to Grove. A straight strike from Heather forced a save from Wanderer’s goalie and that was the last play of the match.
Overall a well played match from Grove, especially with having no subs.
