AFC Ladies Season

[Ladies Supporter]

Although perhaps not the most fluid and commanding performance ever put in by the Ladies the commitment, determination and refusal to lose from 2-0 down with ten minutes remaining was, in my view, exceptional

I know lots oif groups of players who would have chucked in the towel but, despite at least three "walking wounded" the Ladies fought on right to the very end

Goals from Megan Rowley and Kate Bryan seal a battling victory for the lady robins.

Excellent Performance on a bobbly pitch.

Every player contributed significantly

Great to see Megan Rowley continue her graduation process from Juniors to Seniors with a superb performance and her first goal at open age level (arguably two but no Goal Line Technology unfortunately) and also Kate Bryan netting for the first time since returning from her travels.

Alty Ladies' manager, Keith Edleston, has kindly forwarded the latest match report on his team, from Manx correspondent Paul Hatton...
Northwich Vixens 0 Altrincham 2


Two well-taken second half goals not only secured Altrincham FC Ladies' eighth league win of the season, but also completed their second league double, defeating Northwich Vixens 2-0 at Lostock Gralam FC.

The first-half performance saw Alty, yet again, dominate but unable to convert a host of chances. Megan Rowley had an effort rebound off the crossbar, Megan Wright fashioned an opening, only to steer her shot agonisingly wide. Jade Hesketh also worked a shooting chance; her acute-angled shot was well saved when there were better options with a cut-back in the penalty area, as the match finished goal-less come the interval.

Right: Megan Wright taking on a Vixens defender.

Half-Time 0-0

On resumption, Vixens were quicker out of the blocks, Alty goalkeeper Lizzie Brereton was forced into making an impressive save and, moments later, the Robins were caught out defensively and saw the hosts narrowly steer a chance off target.

Undeterred, Altrincham worked their way back into the match, kept on pushing and probing, and they were rewarded with the opening goal on 68 minutes. Wright intercepted a free-kick, she passed to Hesketh who, with her back to goal, released an angled pass to Rowley, a player who has made her way through the youth ranks. She ran into space, unleashed an angled shot across goal and saw it nestle inside the far post for her first ever senior goal.

Alty kept on pouring forward and their second goal duly arrived on 88 minutes. Georgia Vernardakis dinked the ball into space on the right, releasing Rowley. Cutting inside, her by-line effort was pushed out by the Vixens’ goalkeeper. Kate Bryan reacted the quickest to smash her shot into the top right to secure victory.

With only two league fixtures left and results pending, Altrincham FC Ladies will finish in their highest ever league position since they were formed back in 2011
