A scrappy first 20 minutes gave the visitors the room they 'needed' and to be fair, it was a great strike that gave them the lead. Once we settled down however, our football improved and our form returned.
Ciara and Lotty working hard and fighting well to push on with the ball... Sarah, Rosie and Sophia cutting out any real danger, with Sophia showing some silky skills in keeping possession and releasing the ball with some lovely passes.
Jen and Lola showed Sunbury how to remain calm under pressure, often skipping round the opposition to move up the field. In Sharna' and Ruby's absence, Elin stepped up her forward pressure and pulled one back. Sunbury took the lead again but we didn't give up, and Sarah's balletic fall after a crushing challenge in the box gave Elin the opportunity to level it up from the penalty spot, which thankfully... she did.

Although they turned up the pressure for the last few minutes of the game, we held our ground.. were strong at the back, and the whole team rallied to not let them through again.
With the ball in their box many times, we should have taken greater advantage of our pressure and wrapped it up to take all 3 points, but the draw leaves us in 2nd place, with our heads held high.
Its a big game next week.
A real '6 pointer'!
