This morning we had a small swimming session prior to leaving our wonderful hosts, Leweston and commenced what should have been a 4 - 5 hour bus journey to Lymm.......7 hours later we arrived! Such is the traffic in the UK when an incident occurs on any of the major roads. Our bus driver, Nigel, has done a fabulous job of transporting us around.
Due to our late arrival the girls were off the bus and onto the soccer pitch in the blink of an eye. The Lymm girls were excited to see us and quickly descended upon our group. Lots of chatting prior to the game was a great ice breaker for all.
Once the game commenced it was soon apparent that the Lymm girls were a skilled team. The game consisted of 3 x 20minute periods. The first 15minutes was tight with neither side giving ground, Lymm then scored two quick goals to establish a lead. The next period saw a couple of the Lymm players, one who plays for Manchester United, assert their dominance on the game. It was a special to watch some of the skills on display. Our girls played brilliantly, their game improving every time we go onto the pitch. After Mr Russo's team pep talk at the last break the girls were fired up. Britt was the "hero" of the team when she scored a beautiful goal in the last 2minutes of the game. As we are sure we heard the official announce that the last goal wins, we believe we can claim the victory!
The girls are ready to go.
Some of the cheer squad!

The girls have headed off with their billets for the evening and will return in the morning for a pool session followed by a netball game.
