After a disappointing loss last weekend, Bracknell ladies 2s were hoping that with a full team and a new formation they would be able to put some points on the table in their match against Harlow High Wycombe.

Bracknell started positively, consistently working the ball in to Harlow's defensive area and it wasn't long before their hard work paid off, with Rebecca Yeomans crossing the ball in to Charlie Clarke, who knocked it past the Harlow goalkeeper, giving Bracknell their first goal of the season. However, Bracknell's joy was short lived and only minutes later, Harlow were awarded a dubious penalty flick after one of their players went down in the D. Despite goalkeeper Marion Shaw's best efforts, she was unable to stop them converting it and Harlow found themselves back in the game. Bracknell were still confident they could pull it back and continued to pile on the pressure, winning numerous short corners and taking many shots at goal. However, a solid performance by the Harlow goalkeeper ensured Bracknell didn't find the back of the net before half-time. The second half began in the same vein as the first, with Bracknell really testing the Harlow defence. Bracknell dominated possession - Liadh Troy and Rachel Whittle made some impressive forward runs down the wings and into the D, but yet again the Harlow goalkeeper was there to stop them scoring. Towards the end of the game, Harlow started to fight back and the Bracknell defence had to put in a strong performance to ensure Harlow didn't deny them a well-deserved point. There were many notable performances, but it was Charlie Clarke who received the girl of the game accolade for the teams first goal of the season
