“The players have been working harder than ever this week after the disappointing 1-0 defeat on the opening day”
while we weren’t at our best for a spell. Everyone talks about moments that change a game, and ours was a phenomenal goal line clearance from Carrie Bennett midway through the second half. To then go and score with just minutes left - substitute Tash Collins providing a perfect cross for Amy Howlett to convert proves how important that moment was. There was a lot about this game I liked. The impact of substitutes was important as we have discussed the part everyone has to play in each game, and I was also pleased with the resilience we showed and refusing to be beaten when it got tough. It’s great to get off the mark for the season, but we all recognise there is still a lot of hard work to do. This Sunday we travel to Harlow for hopefully another three points! ■
Firstly, I would like to wish Mark and the lads the very best of luck for today’s fixture. A repeat of last weekend would be perfect! After the fantastic 3-0 win for the Men’s team on Saturday, which the Women’s team attended to support, we wanted to follow that up with a win on Sunday. The players have been working harder than ever this week after the disappointing 1-0 defeat on the opening day, where despite the result we all saw the positives from our last performance. Our 2-1 win on Sunday - to make it a perfect weekend for the club - was a real battle at times, but I know the players have the versatility to win in a variety of ways. After taking the lead from a fantastic run and finish by Ruth Fox, we controlled the game from a defensive perspective and felt comfortable going in to half-time leading 1-0. However, to then concede within 30 seconds of kick off was obviously a massive blow, but credit to the players who stayed in the game www.cambridge-united.co.uk
