Hacton 4-0 St Patrick's

March 21, 2014
Hacton girls' football team enjoyed a comfortable home win in front of a bumper crowd in our friendly fixture against a spirited St Patrick's side. On a warm day, the Hacton team - which included newcomers Evie, Emily C and Sophie R - made a bright start. Katie and Emily teamed up well to create a succession of chances. However, Hacton found it tricky to break down their opponents' defence. At the other end of the pitch, Harlie, our team captain made a couple of good saves to ensure Hacton didn't fall a goal behind. The captain, who usually plays in midfield, showed she was also a very competent keeper. The opening goal came from the trusty right boot of Katie who powered home a fierce shot. That goal seemed to provide confidence for the team and Katie quickly added a 2nd goal before half time. In the second half, Caroline fizzed a shot just wide while Evie and Sophie calmly dealt with any St Patrick's attack. To the delight of the crowd, Emily netted her first goal for the team - hopefully this will be the first of many for the Year 5 star. With the final whistle approaching, girl of the game, Katie, completed that rare distinction of a hat-trick with another excellent goal. A resounding win and happy faces all round. Well played girls!
