Feb. 24th, 2008 05:00 pmThe Hawk girls faced MK Wanderers at Fort Blockhouse this afternoon needing a win to keep promotion in their hands. Prospects looked grim when MK took the lead from a corner after five minutes. Hawks went on the attack for most of the remainder of the first half but couldn't get the ball in the net, and just before half-time MK added a second in a breakaway.
On the sidelines Rita, the WAGs, Rose, the other regulars and I were resigning ourselves to another season in the 1st Division. Chantelle, out injured, had been meant to be writing a match report, but she had itchy feet from frustration at not playing so she soon gave that up and wandered along the sideline talking to everyone. We only got a short break at half-time, and it was a bit on the chilly side, so quite a few of our 'fans' didn't emerge from the warmth of the canteen until 10 minutes into the second half - and some even later. Those stragglers missed Lisa Cooper heading one in. As the game dragged on, it was looking like that goal would be just a consolation - until with ten minutes to go, with the goalmouth packed, Sam had a shot on the ground blocked by the keeper, who spilled the ball, and Kayleigh pounced to slam home the equaliser. Wild celebrations from our followers, but a draw would still have handed the promotion initiative to MK. Rain was starting to spit as we entered time added on.
Hawks won a corner. As Penny went to take it, Rita shouted "Penny, get your wand out!" It was a shame Jade wasn't there to start the song. Penny did indeed get her wand out, though; she lofted a perfect cross onto Kayleigh's head and Kay nodded in the winner! "YESSS!" I roared on the sideline, punching the air with both fists, and before I knew it I'd blown a kiss to Kayleigh! Amusement all round.
An action-packed hard-fought game worthy of deciding a promotion battle. More to the point, the Hawk girls' fate is still in their hands.
