Luton 2nd XI vs Letchworth 4th XI

The opening fixture of the new league with a big change for Luton's 2nd XI with new captain Kerri Stinton against Letchworth's 4th XI.

The first half was a challenge for Luton with a goal conceded within the first 10 minutes of the game; however, Shannon Smith in her first attempt in goal did an incredible job for the team.

There were many opportunities where Luton could have scored; however, by the end of the first half half Luton were down 2-0.

In the second half, heads were kept high and Luton were very good with keeping the ball; however, Nadine Baxter had to be taken off to sort out the blood when a Letchworth striker flicked the ball straight to the mouth. Down to 9 players Luton still played well, with v drags and roll outs by a very impressive Alisha Patel.

The final score was 3-0 to Letchworth; however, the team played exceptionally well for a young team, for many of which this was their first senior league appearance.

Player of the match was Shannon Smith with amazing goal saves for her first attempt in goal.

Well done girls!
