A stalemate was the inevitable outcome of a match fought between two equal sides chasing silverware, where defensive play dominated and neither side was prepared to give an inch. Charlie Felgate, Tasha Barker and Zoe Elliott were strong in their tackles and clearances and Esther Gosling provided the safe pair of hands to pluck high balls out of the air and was ever ready to run out of goal, to narrow angles and smother the ball when necessary. Goal scoring chances were few and far between. A Zoe Elliott free-kick in the first half, and a run and shot from the same player, were well saved, and a cross from Sammy Westgate was put just past the post by Sophie Adamson.

In the second half, Debenham's best chance came as Sammy Westgate broke through Woodbridge's llast line of defence, but her shot from a narrow angle, though beating the keeper, also drifted past the post. A shot from Ceara O' Keefe was blocked after good work from Lisa Dennis who helped out the defence with several timely tackles during the game. The match finished with a succession of Woodbridge corners, one of which nearly caused a heart attack to Debenham players and spectators alike, as the ball flashed across the goal. Fortunately for Debenham, no Woodbridge player made contact. A special mention for Sophie Adamson who took a volley full in the face, and bravely carried on as if nothing had happened. Checks were made at half time to make sure if the ball was OK.

Bury came to this match, hoping for something after their recent much improved performance against Copleston in the cup, but the first 20 minutes saw Copleston dominate and open the scoring, this seemed to wake Bury up and they took the game back to Copleston, Gemma Sadler scoring a cracking equalizer so 1-1 at the break.

Copleston again started much stronger and took the lead 2-1,but the inevitable Bury fighting spirit came out and after some great passing play from Kate McGreavy, Lucy Robinson and Hannah Merriam, Sadler poached her second. The last fifteen minutes were end to end both teams desperate for the winner, Charlotte Osbourne making an amazing reaction save in the Bury goal kept Copleston out, and after a lovely break from Bury, Sadler fired home the winner and her second hat trick of the season, a great competitive match and a well deserved win for Bury.

U14 - Waveney Girls 1 Brandon Lasses 4

(OG, Charlotte Howard, Natasha Dawson, Francesca Bonnett)

Brandon travelled to Lowestoft for the second meeting between the clubs in as many weeks and took an early advantages when a well delivered corner was deflected in by the home team. Charlotte Howard made it two with a neat chip over the keeper and the Lasses were three up by the interval after good work in midfield by Dayna Howard set up Natasha Dawson.

Waveney pulled a goal back early in the second half but this failed to spur Brandon on and despite creating chances struggled to find the net. Francesca Bonnett score the Lasses fourth towards the end after some good play between Paige Kenny and Dayna. Credit to Waveney who got body's behind the ball and cleared their lines well. Ellen Rumsey covered well at the back and April Harrild showed the sort of passion and energy that should be maintained by all! Brandon must improve on their work rate at times but still played some good passing football and come away with the three points.

U11  Cup - Cornard Dynamos 1 Waveney 'A' 2

To use a sporting cliché it was a game of two halves, first half but for some excellent goalkeeping from M Shields and last ditching tackling by D Warner and B Picton Waveney may have been more than two behind. What a transformation, the second half saw the old Waveney take the field" the never say die" team, passes found yellow and black shirts, tackles were meant. A Selby Z Cossey and A Lark now cut through Cornard's defence with good passing and movement to create chance for A Cheverton and S Henwood to score. Two goals from Z Cossey tied the match and with L Eaton coming on to replace the tiring midfielders the girls battled on to earn a well deserved draw.

U10 - Bacton United  0 Copleston S.C. 0

For the first ten minutes Bacton were struggling to get out of their own half Copleston pressing forward especially down the wings Lauren Lowings and Lucy Finbow having a lot of defending to do. Copleston should of scored but a shot flashed wide when well placed. Bacton huffed and puffed and eventually Ellen Laidlaw's strong running from midfield opened up the game more and Bactons' Laura Tuley got in a good shot in on goal.

The second half Bacton got their game together a nice through ball from Andie Goodacre set up Laura who shot wide. Bacton were creating a lot more chances. There was plenty of excitement from the touchline, it looked like Bacton had scored as Charley-Ann Musslewhite raced to meet a deflected shot, only for her effort to go across the face of the goal. Copleston had a great effort on goal brilliantly saved by Kayleigh Allberry. Megan Williams looked good on the ball coming away from defence and as the game went on both teams were going for the first goal. Jordan Rainbird's long throw finding Francesca Rainbird who was as always a worry to any team with the ball sticking to her feet. Joanna Walker also deserves a mention for a decent second half .Right near the end a brilliant tackle from Lucy stopped a goal bound effort from Copleston. So a 0-0 draw was enough to give Bacton runners-up in the league. Well done girls.
