Wycombe Wanderers Ladies Football Team 2003-2004 Match report Wanderers Ladies v Willimette University, Oregon Thursday 21st August 2003 The first team played their 4th pre-season friendly on Thursday 21st August against a visiting American College side from Willimette University, Oregon. Technically superior, the Americans passed the ball around and were happy to keep hold of possession until a suitable opening developed. Against the run of play however, Blues went two goals up in the first half after Jas Brown harried a defender into a mistake and then finished with assurance in the first five minutes. Su Oakley doubled the advantage with a shot from wide on the right that sailed over the keeper dropping just inside the far post. However, by half time we were back to level pegging after the visitors showed us just the type of attacking play we will be facing week-in week-out in the premier division. They passed and moved, played little one-twos and created chances from both flanks, while we gave the ball away too easily. The second half began and finished well with players closing the ball down all around the pitch, allowing us chances to win the ball back. In between we didn't work hard enough to make life difficult for the Americans and they made us pay, with two second half goals. One was a penalty, though the award looked harsh as the girl had tripped over our stationary goalkeeper, the other the result of confusion in the defence that allowed two players to go straight down the middle and a goal was inevitable. Lou Plumridge later made a couple of great saves from open play and at the other end, Debbie Richards was unlucky to see her shot tipped over the bar. Nic Thorne had her best chance to get on the scoresheet, as she ran into the box to get on the end of Oakley's cross from the right but wasn't able to knock the ball over the line. Final score 2-4 and still lots to think about prior to our first league game on 31st August.
