Women’s Flyers Vs Bingham Town Ladies

Arnold Town Ladies Second team went into the festive break with a fantastic 9-0 win at Eagle Valley, putting them joint top of the Senior league. With all the rain on Saturday there was a real worry that the game could fall foul to the weather but in the end it was only raining goals.

Having created numerous chances, Arnold finally got the break through when Katie McCrorie found space on the edge of the area before placing a shot into the bottom corner. It took a while before they were able to double their lead having seen the Bingham Town keeper make save after save. A rasping Chloe Stocks effort however gave the visitors no chance as it hit the top corner before anyone could react.

Two nil at half time was probably very generous however the away side were giving their all and were a credit to their club. It was also pleasing to see Arnold Goalkeeper Ellie Roache return to match action and was rewarded with a 45 minute clean sheet before she was replaced by Jess Shelton.

It didnt take long for the home team to get further ahead, as Katie McCrorie got her second, getting the final touch during a goal mouth scramble. Space was now being created as Bingham tired and Charley Keetley took full advantage by racing through from the right before firing past the keeper to make it four. Danielle Pritchard continued her scoring streak as her free kick rattled in of the bar, just landing on the other side of the goal line and whilst Bingham complained that the goal shouldnt have stood, Arnold snuck in and added a 6th as Alice Millns tapped in following Sammy Hoyes effort coming back off the post. Sammy got her reward minutes later as she finished a great team move, beating the keeper at the back post. 

Keeley Terry ventured forward from the back and added to the total before Hannah Hughes scored the best of the lot, cutting in from the right before curing the ball round the outstretched arm of the Bingham keeper to make it 9-0 at full time.
