The score doesn’t reflect what a tough battle this was, setting up with a 3-5-2 formation we had the better of the opening 10 minutes, with Denham coming back into the game we scored two goals through Enya Lee on the break taking us to half time, with a squad of 16 available changes were made but Denham kept pressing Violet Hogan Thomas sweeping up well and making a couple of good saves, we sat in with 2 strong banks and the forever young Milly Beauchamp dropping a little deeper as a 10, with every single player doing what was asked of them gave us the opportunity to score 2 more on the break through Enya and then a beautiful lob from Lucy Creed making it 5, Denham then scored and also missed a penalty, it wasn’t to be Denhams day as Enya scored two more, yes 6 (six) in total, in a 7-1 win you would expect the player of the match to go to a forward but it went to left sided centre back Maddie Sheppard who was absolutely fantastic not putting a foot wrong, every single player put a shift in and good luck Denham for the rest of the season.
