Report: 3rd XI Ladies vs Ely City 2 – November 02, 2024

Spalding ladies 3 vs Ely City 2

One spooky morning, at Glen park Spalding Ladies 3’s started the match against Ely City by showing their impressive display of skill and teamwork. Spalding managed to put pressure on the Ely City defence and within minutes Kelly Tizzano seized the opportunity to chip the ball over the Ely keeper (who was laid on the floor), scoring the first goal. Spalding continued to dominate the game with their precise passing which then led to Jess Pilgrim receiving the ball in the attacking D, who managed to slot a goal in from the left. Ely tried to put pressure on the Spading defensive line but were unable to penetrate it leaving the Spalding goalie with a quiet half! Just before the whistle, there was great team passing to the attacking D, where Sam Fosten slipped the ball through the keeper legs taking the score 3-0 at half time.

The second half saw Ely City coming back strong, causing the Spalding defence to have to work harder, but MOM Honor Pearson was no match making many a defensive tackle and pass up to Emily Wright on the wing. 

Ely were not deterred by this and kept the pressure on and kept the goal keeper busy, who made some crucial saves. However, Ely were able to slot a goal in making the score 3-1. 

Wingers Emily and Eloise Doughty drove the ball to the forwards to result in a cheeky goal for Chloe P, making the score 4-1. Spalding demonstrate their training and confidence, however this was a game of two half’s and Ely City continued to put pressure on Spalding defence. Full time see Spading Ladies 3s win 4-1! 

Spalding will hopefully continue their winning streak next week where they play away against March Town 1s.
