Shipston Ladies 3,

Bretforton Extras 1

THIS was an exciting Summer League game where the score did not totally reflect the play between the two teams.

Shipston's Jackie Williams had an excellent game despite being well marked by Julie Stowe.

Shipston were quick on the break and Williams was decisive in front of goal on three occasions.

Bretforton held much of the midfield and continually pressurised the Shipston goal with numerous corners. However, it was one of those days when the ball just wouldn't go in.

The goalkeeper made several good saves, defenders cleared off the line and shots went wide of the posts.

Debbie Slatter converted a penalty flick convincingly after the Shipston keeper offended.

Overall, it was a game enjoyed by both teams where good finishing sealed the score.

Bretforton Ladies start training on Wednesday evenings between 7 and 8.30pm from August 23. All are welcome at Evesham High School.

Results: Evesham Ladies 3, Blockley 2; Shipston 3, Bretforton Extras 1; Stratford 1, Badsey 0; Bretforton 2, Droitwich 2.
