Late Fuller strike claims the points

Late Fuller strike claims the points

Richard Giles

A 90th minute goal by Hannah Fuller saw the Yachtswomen claim all three points against Bowers and Pitsea this afternoon.

The Yachtswomen extended their unbeaten run to six games in all competitions after today's victory.

Wroxham almost took the lead after five minutes but the away keeper tipped a goal-bound shot over the bar. The early stages saw the Yachtswomen gain the ascendancy and Holly Prytherch had a shot hit the post before the home pressure finally pay off when Millie Docking fired home to give Wroxham a 1-0 lead.

Bowers first real attempt on goal was a free-kick was headed wide of the target with 15 minutes remaining in the half. As the half came to a close, Wroxham squandered some good chances to extended their lead.

Within two minutes of the restart Bowers levelled the score after Wroxham conceded a penalty which was converted. Despite this, the Yachtswomen pushed forward looking to restore their lead. Rebecca Stephenson forced the keeper into a good save, before Hannah Fuller saw a shot come back off the crossbar.

The goal finally came on 90 minutes when Fuller converted a cross from Millie Docking to give the Yachtswomen a fully deserved victory.

Final score: Wroxham 2 v Bowers & Pitsea 1

The result moves the Yachtswomen up to sixth in the Eastern Region Women's Premier League.
