Chichester 2-4 Team BTC
Team BTC took the long trip to Chichester for a top of the table clash. Team BTC went 1-0 down in the first five minutes but quickly reacted with a high press where Ford won the ball and played into Barry for an edge of the box finish. Due to injuries Team BTC went down to 10 players and conceded on a corner from the overload making it 2-1 to Chichester at half-time.
It didn’t take long for Team BTC to get the equaliser. The keeper made an outstanding save, after a shot from Barry, which fell at Fords feet, playing into Charles on the back post to finish. Team BTC kept the momentum and shortly after Barry put a cross into Charles to score her second of the day. In the last five minutes of the game Team BTC won a corner where an outstanding delivery from Banfield landed perfectly for Barry to header into the net.
