Banter with Bridges - Week 5

Worthing College 11-0 Reigate College

Worthing made light work of the 1st round of the BCS knock out cup with a strong performance against Reigate, taking the lead after 30 seconds and never looking back. Chloe Debaes tapped in after good work down the right from Naomi Robinson. From that moment on Worthing started to move the ball quickly and Reigate couldn’t get close to them. The 2nd took its time in coming with Reigate producing some desperate defending and the woodwork keeping Worthing at bay. That was until a flurry of goals came around the 20 minute mark with Danni Lane, Amy Potkins, Sophie Frost and Maddy Emmerton all hitting the target to make it 5-0 after 30 minutes and with Lauren Binfield in goal barely touching the ball apart from the odd pass back from her team-mates. A final goal before half time from Potkins made it 6-0 before the break.

At the break Worthing were told to maintain their standards for the 2nd half and a minimum of 10 goals were expected. Worthing went out there with the same attitude and quickly added to their tally through Potkins again to grab her third hat-trick of the season. Emmerton scored from long range before Frost headed home her 2nd from a Robinson corner. Lucy Somes got herself on the score sheet with a good finish after clever work in midfield from Emmerton sent her clean through. Before Chloe Lamley rounded off the scoring with another goal from long range. All in all a very strong performance without letting the opposition have a single shot on goal all afternoon.
