A great result today.

I really wish they could play at SJP more frequently.

Next one at SJP is Sunday 12th March.

Attendance today was 267.

 

[Pete Martin (CTID)]

Next one at SJP is Sunday 12th March.

So, probably, just twice this entire season then.

 

[Oldsmobile-88]

So, probably, just twice this entire season then.

Yes.
The last couple of ladies games at SJP, were very well attended, a fair few free tickets, the kiosks did well as they always do if there are lots of kids with parents.

I know the logistics of putting any game on at SJP is a major undertaking with staffing especially on a Sunday.

It is worth remembering that the wishes of the team also have to be considered. There are some valid arguments why you might not want to play at SJP regularly, if you were a player.

Not just a win - City Women had complete control of the game throughout.
Winning the important 50/50 balls in midfield.
Closing down when out of possession.
Getting a foot in to regain possession.

Cardiff were reduced to pretty much the single tactic of trying to get a ball over our defensive line in the hope of someone running on to it but our defensive set up was too disciplined for that to work for them.

Lots of chances created by City and the Cardiff keeper needed to pull off a couple of fine saves - tipped over the crossbar after a good City free kick and pushed around the left hand post from a low angled drive.

Emily Toogood delivered a succession of fine crosses from the left.

Jenna Markham kept harrying the Cardiff defence.

Ishbel Zuurmond creating and finishing the clinching second goal.

Most importantly - positivity evident across the whole team.

Congrats to Abbie Britton and Aaron Wakeley on the progress seen over their 50 games in charge.

Such as?

From what I could see at the Hub at the previous game, there wasn't any stewards or any paid staff at all (?). There was someone taking money at the gate but I presumed there were volunteers. I imagine you couldn't get away with this if it was staged at SJP?
