Missed opportunities cost dear

By Leigh Brown

Marton Ladies started the 2nd half of the campaign with a 1-1 draw against Hartlepool.

In what was quite possibly the most one sided draw ever witnessed Marton Ladies failed to capitalize of the huge amount of possession enjoyed in this game as the match finished 1-1

The pattern of the game was set in the first couple of minutes with Marton piling forward at every opportunity and the Hartlepool defense and keeper stopping everything which came there way.

This carried on for 60 minutes before Phillipa Moore finished well at the near post to give the home team the lead however Hartlepool pushed back and with a minute remaining forced there only short corner of the game which was stuck hard into the bottom corner.
