After a goal less first half and the game still on a knife edge NIL NIL
Ascot eventually found the skeleton key to break down a very stubborn Wargrave defence compliments of a Phoebe Thomas master class .
The electric dynamo Phoebe who with a napkin around her neck and knife and fork in hand stormed past the bemused Wargrave defence to burst into the box before calmly slamming the ball wide of the advancing keeper into the far post, a stunning goal to break the deadlock
How important a strike was that to unpick a very stubborn Wargrave defence.
This was followed up in the 55th minute by Phoebe now a major headache for Wargrave again drifting down the wing and lacing a ball into the box where the tenacious Erling “Amira Khan” Haaland, bundled into the box to bury the ball past the flailing Wargrave keeper.
In the 65th minute, in what was pure football poetry, Aariyah Sharma delivered a perfectly weighted pass with the precision of a heart surgeon as it threaded its way through two Wargrave defenders to land at the dancing boots of Alexa Crittenden who again went down the left wing with alarming pace to put a ball into box which landed inches from the keeper but most importantly inches from Gabby Goodall who decided to also join the party and finished the move by putting the ball past the keeper just to the right. 3 NIL to the Junior yellas and 3 points closer to the league leaders.
