Good Vibrations but no celebration

Leah Shearer

Women's 1st vs Didsbury Northern 2nd XI

High flying Didsbury Northern next up for Carlisle
A challenge and little need for motivation
Starting well and forcing their opponents back
From defence through midfield Carlisle had a good foundation

The midfield controlled the play allowing Katie to break away
Driving at the Northern back line without hesitation
But Carlisle could not deliver the punchline
To give the home side a sweet sensation

Bex,the surfer girl, was catching the waves
Supported by the team and probing with imagination
Didsbury’s defence and saves from their keeper held all at bay
Time progressed leading to the Cumbrians’ frustration

Slowly the visitors showed signs of adventure
And scored from a short corner.Didsbury elation
Not long to half time and for them good timing
A setback for Carlisle but far from devastation

After the interval Carlisle continued as before
To put the Northern team under examination
The home defence with Hannah at its heart were little troubled
As those further forward tried to redress the score line situation

Carlisle put their heart and soul to try to equalize
But the Didsbury effectively ended the conversation
Scoring with nine minutes to go, so all this is that
The home side never gave up and in defeat were given an education

It’s good to control play and create several chances
To succeed be clinical and win without hesitation
Wouldn’t it be nice to capitalize on outstanding play?
And have fun,fun,fun together with the promising Good Vibrations.
