Frome Town Ladies welcomed Penmill Reserves to Badgers Hill, brimming with confidence from their previous week’s win.
Frome were in front on 9 minutes with Underhill hammering home from 10 yards. They struck their 2nd one minute later when Christmas played in Seviour to forcefully strike past the Penmill number 1.
Wave after wave of Frome attacks continued and on 14 minutes, Petteford’s shot unluckily cannoned off the cross bar. Soon after, Underhill tried her luck with her left boot and her goalward shot got diverted past the Penmill keeper by Christmas.
On 35 minutes, Petteford got through 1-on-1 with the keeper and calmly scored her first for the season. 10 minutes to half time and Petteford hits the bar for the second time and Ratcliffe joined the attack, only to see her shot creep wide of the post. Right on 45 minutes, Petteford’s effort was saved, falling kindly for Seviour to bag her 2nd.
After Justin and Tim’s halftime talk, the Ladies started the second half with more zip, pushing Penmill back and always looking a threat. Petteford’s shot within 2 minutes forced a good save and seconds later, Isaacson broke free on the left, firing a fierce shot which forced a good save but in the right place Petteford followed in to get Frome’s 6th and her 2nd.
Five minutes later Underhill struck her 2nd of the game, leaving the keeper no chance with a fine strike. With still 30 minutes to play, Edwards got her name on the score sheet with a delightful chip from the edge of the area. Isaacson, a threat all game, scored 2 more goals in 10 minutes to take Frome’s tally for the afternoon to 10 and the impressive Underhill swept home her hattrick goal on 85 minutes after great forward passing between Bristow and Christmas.
Player of the match was awarded to Petteford for her unselfish work all game and her 2 goals. Frome Town Ladies are still looking for a few more players for this season. If interested please contact the club via their www.weareba11.com.
