Today the Ladies continued their fine away form with another win, this time running out 3-1 winners against Halwill Ladies.
Despite a soggy pitch and some position changes, the Ladies showed their strengths as a team and put in a commanding display.
The first half started well, with the Ladies having lots of possession and lots of attempts at goal, but they just couldn't get that ball in the back of net.
There were lots of positives for the team in the first half, especially in the opening 25 minutes, where they played some great football, utilising the wings well and playing some intricate passing triangles to create space and break down the Halwill defence.
However it took the Ladies going behind in the second half to ignite them in to goal scoring action, and from then on every attack looked like it would result in a goal, and it would have, if not for some great defending by Halwill's center backs.
Almost immediately, the Ladies hit back with a great attacking move, and a lovely ball over the top from captain Jade was finished off fantastically by Millie. Game on!
The next goal came after more Shaldon pressure, with the ball being nicked on the right and floated over by Steph towards the goal, forcing the Halwill keeper to clear, but only as far as Niamh who hit a wonderful shot up and over the keeper.
The final goal was scored by Lauryn (she just can't stop scoring!) and assisted by Millie, a well worked move that but the game to bed.
Then it was about game management for the Ladies, and they did just that until the final whistle.
A huge well done to the whole team today, it was a fantastic game with lots of battling and some really great football, they are all improving individually and as a team every game and they should be really proud.
Player of the match went to Chloe Whitehead, for a fantastic showing at left wing, she dominated the channel and had the beating of the Halwill defence all game, well done!
Thanks to Halwill for their hospitality and a great game of football.
The Ladies next play on Sunday 31st October at home Vs Plainmoor, it's set to be a spooky game! 
Up the Villa!
