To add to the excellent 3-1 win over Leeds on Saturday the ladies 2’s turned out again on Sunday with aching limbs and joints they managed to rally together and produce another fine win in the freezing rain.
This game against Doncaster 3rds was a scrappy affair with neither side producing accurate passes and free flowing hockey.
The half time score was 0-0 and instructions were to stop rushing and play their own patient game of passing the ball to blue players despite the harassing by Doncaster.
This seemed to work, the first succession of passes from the push back between Zoe Harrison and Henri Bristowe showed that it could be done and a goal was so close to being the icing.
The Driffield team then began to relax and pass the ball beautifully up the pitch for many attacks on goal, the Doncaster keeper was having a superb game and saved numerous ‘certain’ goals which were saved.
At last, the deadlock was broken with 10 minutes remaining. Alice Kirkup taking the final sweep into the net from a short corner.
Driffield then tightened up their play and hounded down every Doncaster player, the whistle could not come soon enough but a six point weekend was what the ladies wanted and claimed.
Girlie of the game: Mieke Davison
Donkey of the day: Zoe Harrison.
