eiffel_71Round to Portchester today to see the Ladies’ Reserves face City Ladies in the Hampshire Women’s Intermediate Cup. Warm effusive greetings from Michele and Stacy when I arrived. Got a bit of a chat with Charlie the manager before the game. Sophie, Kat, Lynsey and Jess all pleased to see me. After twenty minutes or so of Portchester pressure without a goal, City Ladies opened the scoring, chipping a free kick from 25 yards out straight over the wall and into the top of the net. Lisa headed home an equaliser with a few minutes of the half left.
In the second half it was all Portchester. Butch knocked in a ball sent across the goalmouth by Eira, and a goalward header from Lisa looked to me to have glanced off a defender’s head for an own goal, but Charlie insisted “That was definitely Lisa’s goal!” Stacy later concurred with that view on Facebook.
An evening chilling in front of the telly before returning to work in the morning.
