Longbridge Ladies FC 2 - 4 Woodlands Girls FC

After a tough week in the Longbridge camp, the ladies weren't feeling or looking like their normal selves throughout the first half. Woodlands took a 2 goal lead in the match but Longbridge had some chances of their own to get a goal back. Although the ladies were having a rough game, they showed how much of a close nit team they are. After some altercations with the Woodlands striker, the ladies came together to back up their team mates. Longbridge came back in the second half and got the scoreline back to 2-2. But with no subs available the team were getting tired which showed as Woodlands put 2 past them towards the end of the half. Although Longbridge had some problems within the team, they showed great heart and why they shouldn't be underestimated this season. The ladies now have a 4 week break due to half term and cup matches. The team  will be working hard in training for their next match on 18th November.

Stratford Town FC 2 - 7 Longbridge Ladies FC

With Longbridge drawing their game against Woodlands last week they were looking to get back in to winning ways against Stratford Town. Longbridge were down to 10 players for the second time this season due to 3 absent players but this didn't change their goal of getting all 3 points. From the off Longbridge were looking strong both going forward and defending. It wasn't long before they took the lead as Lucee Firth headed in a Tara Harrison corner. They soon doubled their lead as  Lucee Firth got her second goal from another Tara Harrison corner. Jodie Cassidy added to their lead 10 minutes before half time. But Stratford showed fight and pulled a goal back before the break. Stratford's winger crossed in a ball which was headed home by their towering forward. The second half meant more of the same from Longbridge who went 4-1 up as Lucee Firth showed great persistence in the box which set up Emma Tidman for an easy tap in. Jodie Cassidy had a great chance for Longbridge as she skipped through the Stratford defence but her left footed shot hit the post. She soon recovered from her earlier miss as she hit a second half hatrick which took her total up to 4. However, Stratford never gave up and managed to double their goal tally with a superb shot which went straight into the top corner. The game finished 7-2 which was a well deserved result for Longbridge as they gave an amazing team performance. Longbridge will be hosting Woodlands for a second time on Saturday but this time in the U18 open cup.

Longbridge Ladies 2 - 2 Woodlands Girls

After loosing away last week, Longbridge were looking to give a strong performance against Woodlands. With Longbridge defending well and getting balls up to the forwards it looked as if they would take the lead early on, but like their previous games they could not put the chances away. Longbridge defender Lucee Firth came closest when her header from a Tara Harrison corner went just wide of the post. This came back to haunt the ladies as a long ball over the top caught out the defence and with the 'keeper off her line it was a simple finish for the Woodland's striker. Within 5 minutes they had doubled their lead with an identical goal to the first. As it was reaching high temperatures the teams took a quick drinks break which seemed to work in the favour of Longbridge. Straight after the drinks break Longbridge were able to pull a goal back and like Woodlands score another soon after to level the score. The second half was evenly balanced with both teams going forward but not able to convert their chances. Woodlands managed to hit the cross bar twice whereas Longbridge kept firing their shots straight at the 'keeper. Overall a fair result on a scorching hot day in Birmingham. Longbridge will be travelling to Stratford for their next fixture and will be looking to find their winning mentality once again. For all fixtures and results go to http://www.cwgfl.com/
