Round 10 of the South East Women's Football Association competition continued on from Round 9, where many juniors were called up to replace more senior players.
In the Seniors, Palace, Wanderers and City all had wins, with Millicent and Portland playing out a nil all draw, while in the Under 14s Villa continued to dominated at the top of the ladder, while Wanderers had a good win over Palace.
Seniors
Palace v County
Once again, Palace had to rely on its Under 14 side to bolster the ranks, with the inclusion of five juniors. The inclusion of Imogen Pratt proved to be a fine choice, with the youngster claiming two goals in the first half, including a fine finish from a deflection.
Stung into action by these early goals, County lifted considerably, chasing any stray ball and diverting it from possible goalscoring opportunities.
Palace defence was under pressure from the tenacity of Tania Widdison and Sharni Leggett but were comfortable in winning the ball and sending it towards their own goal. Kate Stewart made a welcome return to Palace, showing she has lost little of her touch despite being out of the game for over a year.
Even with the absence of several key players, County played the remainder of the match with fierce determination but could not finish in front of goal.
Final score: Palace 2 (I Pratt 2) d County 0
Wanderers v Villa
In wet and windy conditions, Villa met Wanderers for the first time this season.
Playing one of the top three teams is always a tough assignment and Villa rose to the challenge, limiting Wanderers to a 2 goal lead at half time. With captain Jenna Nunan taking charge from the backline and Bianca Johncock making dangerous runs, it looked several times as though Villa may break through but Wanderers were equally determined not to concede.
The return of injury prone Leonie McCallum to the Wanderers' lineup strengthened the side and Keisha Seiler was in fine form, breaking quickly and striking well from distance.
Final score: Wanderers 5 (K Seiler 4, E Ripper) d Villa 0
City v United
With several key players restored to their starting lineup, City set out to re-establish their dominance on the park.
United were stunned when losing the ball shortly after kick off, Kirby Maczkowiack was able to capitalise and score within the first minute of play. Quickly followed by two penalties, City took a comfortable lead.
Alison Cutting and Maddie Ryan proved effective for United in defence, cleanly winning the ball and sending it down the line for attackers to pounce on. At the other end of the park, Eleni Kourmouzis took control in her defensive line, consistently winning the ball and distributing efficiently, thwarting any United attempt on goal.
United used the strong breeze effectively in the second half, and on a break were able to slot one home. A late goal for City saw them resume their winning ways.
Final score: City 4 (K Mackowiack, L Birch, S Ielasi, J Smith) d United 1 (P Edmonds)
Millicent v Portland
Millicent have recently shown a marked improvement defensively, conceding few goals in recent matches and are improving each week in front of goal.
Sitting fourth on the table, with some good results behind them, Portland would have made the trip feeling fairly confident of 3 points but the blustery conditions made settling into their playing style difficult. Portland's mother/daughter combination of Donna and Katelyn Kilgour has proved effective this year, with both making the scorecard.
However, Maria Montouri played strongly in defence, making it impossible for Portland forwards to find a way past. Wanita Robinson was making plenty of runs up front for Millicent but failed to convert.
Final score: Millicent 0 drew with Portland 0
Under 14s
Villa v City
Villa's depleted side from last week was strengthened by the return of goal scorer Makayla Atwell and a balanced defence.
Keen to make up for their defeat, Villa wasted little time in finding their form and scored early to take the lead. The link between defence and attack was evident with midfielders working hard to win and distribute the ball effectively, putting City defence under intense pressure.
City had their chances, including a quick break from Erin Ireland but Villa goalkeeper Jacinda Wood was able to keep a clean sheet. Eirene Couzens showed flair along the wing, winning the ball and pushing forward several times.
The match belonged to Villa, with 4 goals scored in each half.
Final score: Villa 8 (M Atwell 3, K Reade 2, M Ianella 2, J Donaldson) d City 0
Wanderers v Palace
No more than two goals have separated these teams this season and it promised to be a closely contested match from the outset.
Despite numerous early attacks, Palace were able to defend against the skilled Wanderers lineup. Ashlae Pilven was keen to claim an early goal for Palace but was denied by excellent goalkeeping by Elizabeth Thatcher.
Wanderers edged in front before the break courtesy of a Paris Ackland strike and took a one goal buffer into the second half. Strong winds made playing conditions difficult for the youngsters but determination was evident for both teams, each desperately seeking to score.
Mel Wilmot was able to make powerful inroads into Wanderers' territory but could not find a way through.
Final score: Wanderers 1 (P Ackland) d Palace 0
