CPLFC- The Priory 1 (Abigail Ingram)
Southgate College (THLFC) 1
CPLFC- The Priory played its first home game of the season against Southgate College (Development Centre of Tottenham Hotspur Ladies FC) in the English Colleges FA League. After defeats for both sides in their opening fixtures both teams were eager to put points on the table and college from North London began as much the stronger side. Southgate attacked down the wings at pace, and were very aggressive though the middle. This forced the home side on the back foot. For all their early endeavor their only effort in the opening period came when The Priory goal keeper dropped a cross but the stopper bounced to her feet and smothered the follow up shot.
The first half evened out and the team from Orpington began to create attacks of their own. Jackson forced a save from the Southgate No.1 after being set up by King and Ingram had a goal disallowed after beating the goal keeper to Jeffrey’s high looping cross.
In the second half The Priory pushed forward but in the even game Southgate were also looking to take the lead, and they did after 55 minutes when excellent delivery from a corner was powerfully headed in. The home side huffed and puffed and fifthteen minutes later found the equalizer. Some adventurous play beginning on the left was switch infield. King’s though ball to Jackson was blocked but Ingram was first the loose ball and smashed it from 25 yards.
Both sides went for the winner, but the final chance of the game fell to Jackson who headed just over Ingram’s right wing free kick.
