15/03/09. LTD JAGUARS 0 - HAVERING 4

LTD JAGUARS 0 - HAVERING 4. 15/03/09. Tough game, tough luck.

Having played Havering a few weeks back in the Cup, hopes were high that the Jaguars could build on that great performance and get a result in this league game, it was not to be.

The 1st half settled down into a strong back-and-forth tussle between the two sides, with Havering opening the scoring. Kerry had a flying free kick narrowly miss the net and Danielle thumped a certain goal towards the flapping Havering goalkeeper only to see it ricochet off the post. By the end of the second half Havering had capitalised on there luck and built up a 3 goal lead.

The second half saw the Jaguars start to get hold of the game with tighter defence and sharper passing. Alli and Sarah kept the Havering attacks stifled all day, Channan and Lauren B regularly mopped up any lose balls, and Paige, Courtney, Lauren A and Kelly did a good job in snuffing out the oppositions midfield. Adi made a clutch of incredible saves and great attacking runs and penalty box scrambles by the Jaguars kept them in the match but no more goals resulted. Then Havering sneaked in a forth goal which effectively sealed the game. Despite this, the Jaguars kept pushing forward and showed determination and bags of spirit with Jade, Jaz, Danielle and Fluer keeping their defence busy.

On their day, The Jaguars could have got a result from this tussle, but an on form Havering just proved too elusive today. When compared to the results Havering were getting against The Jaguars last season this is still a massive improvement, and again, if the width of the post hadn't robbed them of an equaliser in the 1st half the match could have turned the Jaguars way. Well done girls great effort, normal trade mark grit, better luck next time.
