This Wednesday. QPR Women made the short trip across London to Stanwell, situated on the banks of London Heathrow Airport. To take on Ashford Town Middlesex at the Robert Parker Stadium. In front of a shockingly good crowd, for the recently promoted outfit. Both teams taking their place in mid table ahead of today’s kick off.
Starting this evening’s affair. The guest got the first chance. Laura Hennessey tapping in a through ball, caught by defenders after beating defenders. Counter attacking quickly. The host had their opening opportunity. Unable to break into the box. Back and forth football preserved play in the middle of the pitch, plummeting pitch creation. As two teams were evenly matched. Neither side able to string a progressive movement, managing to open up space. Taking a toll on the entertainment for fans in the initial exchanges. With the ball bouncing around the box, Katie McLean was forced into a low save, stopping Ashford key outlet Ashley. A firm foot fling by the Rs midfield averted the danger after this. Tipping around the post, Katie kept out the third tangerines attempt, pressure mounting on a medieval pitch. Reacting remarkably. Qpr women ran riot up the field. Finding space to slip into the area, before a fingertip save stopped the go at goal. A chance coming from the home side top scorer seeing out the period. Scoreless owing to a magnificent McLean showing.
Getting the second half underway. Ashford attacked all guns blazing, beaming down on the visitor’s goal. Going straight from kick off. Crumbling the chance as they got close. Launching a long ball, the host battled well to break the deadlock. Scuffed shot screwing the chance. A flurry of subs halted the game, as the Rs were picking up momentum, making the remaining time even harder. Shortly followed by the first goal of the game. Going the home sides way. Ashford scored a simple shot, after the Rs failed to clear their lines. Leathering from close range. With time running out and temperatures dropping, atmosphere around the Robert Parker plummeted. Only one more opportunity each before today’s match up came to its awaited end.
