North Walsham went into this game knowing that only three points would be good enough. However, the regular keeper was missing and Gabbie stepped in at the eleventh hour and proved to be the saving factor.
Both teams started at pace and it was North Walsham who opened the scoring when in the twentieth minute, Hannah Wait, back to full strength, weaved her way from the half way line and put a great cross into the circle to find Hayley Massingham in a great position, to slot the ball past the keeper. Although from this point the game ebbed and flowed, it was the home team who caught North Walsham on the hop and put two past the rookie keeper in the last five minutes of the first half.
North Walsham started the second half with gusto, and Jen Marshall made a great run down the right wing, crossed to Denise Wait, who fired home from close range. This brought the visitors back into the game and they had the better of the second half and it was Hannah Wait who sealed the match with a great solo goal.
Thanks must go to Gabbie in goal, who saved the team with almost the final touch of the match. Once again this was a truly great team performance
