The second half started with both teams having strong attacking moments putting both team’s defence to the test along with great saves from the keepers. The girls determination continued throughout and played with great confidence, making superb tackles to win the ball and finding space they managed to get another goal to take their lead to 4-0. The team reset for the final few minutes, maintaining their composure they continued to demonstrate their skills and ability with a few more shots at goal going just wide of the goal before a fantastic bit of play to score another goal minutes before the final whistle to give the team a 5-0 win.
