In a determined bid to get some much deserved points on the table, Bracknell Ladies 1s went to Reading with a newly found confidence and team spirit.

From the outset, Bracknell pressed the ball well and started to create some opening chances, Whilst Bracknell were searching for the lucrative 1st goal, they were caught on the back foot when Reading broke from defence and within a couple of passes Reading were in the striking D and their shot on goal took the lead.
Bracknell fought hard and won a number of successive short corners which were saved and cleared out of defence. Having gone in to the half time break 1-0 down, Bracknell again pressed and pushed Reading back into their half seeking an equaliser. Great defensive tenacity from Kath Coveney and Gemma McClean edged Reading away from danger and kept Bracknell on the attack. With great work rate from Man of the match Kelly Lockyer up front, Reading were closed down quickly and an equaliser looked imminent. Becky Peatfield shot wide of the left post and Caz Apsey and Emma Bunyan narrowly missed a screaming cross from Ali Eatwell. Unfortunately having piled on the pressure on the Reading goal mouth Bracknell were left exposed at the backand with another quick break away , Reading cleared the ball out of defence capitalising on the reduced numbers - a cross was deflected in by Reading at close range. Bracknell fought to the final whistle and were unlucky for the 2nd consequtive week not to have taken any points in a hard fought game.
