Five-star AFC Eastfield Sirens earn victory at Holme Rovers
A fantastic team performance saw AFC Eastfield Sirens earn an excellent 5-2 win on the road at Holme Rovers in the East Riding County Women’s League second division on Sunday afternoon.
The depleted visitors came flying out of the blocks, scoring two early goals in quick succession, through the returning Nat Wilson and Paige Smith, to give Sirens the perfect start after only quarter of an hour.
Credit to Holme Rovers, who battled back and soon brought the score level to 2-2, leaving everything to play for.
With a massive pitch and tired legs starting to set in, the Sirens had to dig deep.
The whole team showed incredible determination and work-rate, continuing to fight for every ball and for each other.
Their efforts were finally rewarded when Wilson found the back of the net once again to put Sirens back in front.
The Sirens continued to push forward, with Smith adding another goal following some fantastic team play and a well-worked move.
Wilson then completed the scoring — and her hat-trick — with their fifth goal of the game.
In a brilliant all-round team performance every single player worked hard for one another, defended together, attacked together and showed the determination they’ve been looking for.
Player of the Match was Smith, who worked tirelessly throughout the game in both positions, making important contributions defensively while also being a constant threat going forward.
Her work-rate, versatility and determination were outstanding, and she played a huge part in the team’s performance and result.
