Kingsbridge and Salcombe 2nd team hosted a strong Torbay side for their fifth game of the season. The home side started brightly, applying early pressure and were rewarded just eight minutes in when Emma opened the scoring, finishing off a fantastic move set up by Violet, who was superb up front throughout the match.
The pressure continued, and at the 30-minute mark, Darcey doubled the lead — once again from a brilliant assist by Violet, whose creativity and link-up play caused Torbay constant problems. Torbay pulled one back before halftime, making it 2–1 at the break.
The second half was tense and hard-fought — right down to the wire — with no further goals. The team defended bravely and battled for every ball to hold onto their lead. JL was outstanding in goal, making a string of fantastic diving saves and showing great composure under pressure. Her positive energy and determination at the back earned her the well-deserved Player of the Match award.
Up front, Violet, Emma and Fi were excellent, linking up beautifully to create chances and keep the Torbay defence on the back foot. Poppy, Lisa, Alice, and Nicky were brilliant down the wings and through the middle, bringing energy, control, and great movement throughout the game. At the back, Charlotte, Sophie, Mel and Izzy were rock-solid, providing strong, reliable defending to keep the opposition at bay.
It was a well-deserved win for the 2s, full of teamwork, quick passing, and great spirit. Every player played their heart out and should be incredibly proud of the performance. A fantastic result against a tough side!
