𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛 𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧

Well done to the first team girls who played their hearts out in tough weather conditions.

The Union team enjoyed a great start to the game, creating two goal-scoring opportunities in the first 30 seconds of the game. York countered, however, and ran three solid counterattacks in the first chukka.

It was high-tempo stuff from the start of the second chukka, as Union probed for openings on attack and displayed a lot of physicality on defence, creating five chances to score, but failing to capitalise on them.

Going into the second half, the rain started to pour down in earnest, putting a strain on Union’s play. The team managed to create two counterattacks, four goal-scoring opportunities and one short corner, but lack of concentration gave York the opportunity to score in the last 30 seconds.
