Merry Christmas from the 2s!

Redbridge & Ilford 2nd XI - 0
Southend & Benfleet 2nd XI - 0

The 2s were the only team in the club with a game at the weekend, travelling to Redbridge for a 3pm start. Knowing they had a chance to get ahead, with other teams not playing, they gave it their all, but both sides cancelled each other out. Naomi Barker came close with a belting strike from a penalty corner that produced a diving save from the R&I keeper. The final few minutes were tense as R&I had several close calls but the score remained 0-0. S&B defender Rebecca Utton, recently back from a long term injury, was voted player of the match. The match had plenty of (Christmas) spirit but S&B had to make do with just one point in their last match before the Christmas break.
