The girls football league process finished at the Tanbridge astroturf last night with some more exciting and close matches.
The early part of the evening saw the final round-robin matches completed. Shelley held leaders Leechpool A to a scoreless draw in the first round of matches played on the night which allowed Southwater to close after their win over st Robert Southwell in Rounds 2 and 3, before Leechpool A beat bottom team Pulborough 6-0. So both comfortable in retaining their top two spots to meet up in the play-offs final.
Other strong performers on the evening in the round-robin were Heron Way with two wins and a draw and Pulborough, despite their heavy loss to Leechpool A and continued failure to score a goal, improving their position with two 0-0 draws versus the Kingslea B and Leechpool C teams. Three teams benefitted from Plaistow and Kirdford’s third meeting absence with the award of 3-0 default wins.
So to the play-offs section, matches informed by the positions of the teams of those who were there on the final night. In the big one between the top two Leechpool A and Southwater both demonstrated the quality that had made them the dominant forces but it was the latter who got the upper hand courtesy of a late strike. Third place was shared by Kingslea A and Shelley teams that cancelled each other out having both finished on 41 points. Heron Way continued their good form to take fifth with a 2-0 win over St Robert Southwell and seventh was also shared by Kingslea B and Castlewood teams who could not break the deadlock. Leechpool C came top of a threeway battle for ninth spot honours that included bragging rights over Leechpool C and consigning Pulborough to bottom spot.
Well done to all the players and teams that represented their schools during the league.
