Engayne 3 - 2 Hacton

Hacton girls' football team lost out to a last minute goal in a thrilling contest away at Engayne on Friday 8th February. Playing their first game of 2013 after a winter break, the girls showed great character and commitment. Captain Amy J led the way as she fired Hacton into a deserved lead after good work from Harlie. On a quagmire of a pitch, the going was tough and the tackles fierce. Evie had to be at her best in goal to keep out several Engayne attacks while Mia and Francesca defended resolutely. Unfortunately, just before half time, Engayne equalised and then quickly took the lead. Hacton threatened to level with Amy B and Angelica both peppering the Engayne goal. Shortly after half time, quick thinking from Captain Amy saw a Hacton equaliser as she fired the ball in the net following a poor goal kick. The exhilarating game was now end to end. Half-time substitutes Roxie and Lucy joined the action as Hacton looked for the elusive winning goal. Just as it seemed a deserved point was on the cards, Engayne won a free kick which was drilled directly into the Hacton goal for an unstoppable winner to the opposition. Hacton left the field knowing that they had given their all.
