Redditch II 1, Badsey 3

BADSEY continued their run of good results after taking a while to get into their stride when they allowed Redditch to dictate the early exchanges.

However, the midfield once again began to get the upper hand with some great movement by Vicki Pomeroy, Karen Moore and Kate Worrall providing good openings.

The home side, though, then scored on the break to take the lead against the run of play. but this only galvanised Badsey into further action and they soon equalised.

A good ball out from the back and slick passing by Pomeroy and Lynne Ellarby gave Karen Robinson the chance to fire past the Redditch keeper.

Badsey were then awarded a penalty flick when Nikki Wright's shot was stopped on the line by a foot but Jane Rickey's flick hit a post.

Solid defending from Wendy Hardy and Fiona McNeish prevented Redditch threatening Rachel Leeming's goal.

Badsey went ahead after the interval when Pomer-oy''s quick thinking set Wright off on a run from halfway to beat the home keeper with a reverse stick shot.

The player of the match then got her second from a short corner to make it 3-1.

With Sarah Rickey and Laura Moore combining well down the right, it seemed that more goals would be forthcoming. However, Badsey then seemed to lose their way and the match stuttered to a close.
