Falmouth 2 Westberries (Bristol) 4

Falmouth were once again slow to start and allowed Westberries to get ahead and found it too difficult to catch up despite dominating the later stages of the match. Westberries started extremely well and found themselves two goals up within the first 15 minutes claiming the goals from open play. Falmouth worked back into the game, gradually gaining more of the possession and pulled one goal back when a Clare Hudson strike was saved by the keeper only for Kat Barberry-Redd to pounce on the rebound and push it into the goal. Falmouth continued to press forward but they over committed and Westberries regained their two goal advantage just before the half time break.

In the second half Falmouth restructured and played with a more attacking formation and although it gave the home team more chances it was not their day and opportunities were missed. Falmouth's second half goal was an individual effort from Vic Pryor as she beat the last defender, drew the goalkeeper out and pushed the ball around her into the goal. Falmouth kept attacking but the visitors managed to score on one of their quick breaks out of defence. Falmouth went very close when Hannah Whear’s follow up shot at a penalty corner was stopped on the line by a defender's foot. Falmouth's usually extremely reliable Clare Hudson put the resulting penalty flick just wide which confirmed that it was not going to be Falmouth's day. Defender, Philippa Eddy made some excellent tackles and was voted Falmouth’s player-of- the-match.
