The 3s knew they would be under pressure this week facing an unbeaten and top of the league side burnt ash. As expected BA started strongly but the defensive line of Caroline, smithy, Lu and Maddie with a lot of help from the mid line of Jaime, Katie, Nikki and Sasha were all working tirelessly to keep them at bay with Kate making some good stops in goal. However the pressure eventually told with BA taking a deserved lead midway through the half. This could have opened the flood gates but Maidstone continued to battle well and the forward line of Tracey, Bella and Robyn combined well together in attack with all coming close to drawing us level before the break.
BA then doubled their lead early in the second half but Maidstone were playing better and stringing some good pass and moving together resulting in Bella providing a great through ball for Tracey to pull a goal back from a tight angle. Maidstone continued throughout the half working hard as team and creating opportunities but unfortunately with tiredness setting in Maidstone conceded one more goal in the last 5 minutes.
