Extra hard battle for Kettering 3s

Kettering 3's v Saints 3's
Lost 4 - 0

The weather was against us on Saturday, as the heavens continued to open Saints continued to push and push.
Saints were on us from the start of the game managing to get 2 short corner's in the first 2 minutes. But with a good save from goalie Laura Beswick and good team work from the defence we managed to keep saints at bay. The 1st half of the game Kettering for forced to play a very defensive game and was under extreme pressure from saints continuously. Due to us playing so defensive when we did get the ball we left ourselves with no one to pass the ball forward to to be able to get into the saints half. We ended the 1st half 0 - 0 which did show how well the team played.
Start of the second half we seem to have come out fighting and managed to put saints under some pressure but unable to finish of any shot we had on goal. Unfortunately this was short lived and saints managed to get a goal. Within the next 15 miniutes Kettering gave away several short corners and was under constant attack from Saints and Kettering conceded 2 more goals. Kettering did manage to get a couple of breakaways with Meg Forader having some lovely runs up the pitch with Mary Schweir and Caitlin Curran but was unable to turn any of them into goals. Saints came back us and managed to get another goal.
Despite Kettering's massive efforts and team work we Lost the match, Everybody in the team played really well though. We now have 2 weeks break to recover and come back to get a few more wins under our belt.
