Me and the Ladies

[The Invisible Man]

I went to watch my first ETFC Ladies game last night, versus Ipswich.

 

For those of you who have not yet seen a women's game, or harbour some old prejudices, I can tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed the match. The teams were well coached and there were good skills and some lovely flowing moves. Our (if I may use the word) first goal by 17 was brilliant, as sweet a left foot chip over the keeper as you will ever see. A defensive, err, misunderstanding led to an equaliser being given away a few minutes from the end, but a lovely ball from 15 sent the sub 8 away down the right, she put in a wicked low cross and a forward's (Kelly?) shot could only be lashed into her own net by a defender.

 

Great stuff, and I believe these were the Ladies' first points of the season, so well done and I take some credit for it!

 

I won't be able to make many Sunday games but I certainly intend to be there again for Thursday nights. It's good value for £2 including programme, why not come along? It's all ETFC you know, they wear the same famous white shirt!

Thanks brunob. Sorry, my mistake about the scorer.

 

Oh joy, deep joy, to send a B***** team to the bottom!

 

 

But the 23rd is the same evening as our AGM!!!!!!!! Could the AGM be held beside the pitch....

Thanks for all the kind words, as chair of the womens club is was nice to see new faces down to watch last night, and you can all be our lucky mascots as you cheered us on to our first league win of the season.
