Queen’s Park rangers’ women hosted Actonians this Wednesday evening. A west London derby taking place at the powerday stadium. When the sides last met, they saw out a goalless draw. Disappointing travelling supporters. Hopeful of more today.
Starting this evening’s affair. It was the Rs who came out the better. Creating the opening opportunity, taking play up the pitch, Grace Stanley putting the ball into the net. Curling it past the travelling team’s keeper. Running down the run side. Actonians were eager to average an early lead. Putting on pressure, having two attempts at goal. Shortly followed by the host finding a second. Jo Blodgett converting from twelve yards, after a penalty was awarded, thanks to a terrible foul inside the box. Venturing in the final third. The visitors found space for a cross, coming to a player. Whose kick missed the ball. Barricading more distress on the guest. Scoring an absolute screamer. Laura Hennessey let fly on her effort. Rifled rocket rocking the atmosphere.
Getting the second half underway in amazing fashion. Within a minute the home side had scored again. Now four to the good. Grace Stanley shot from outside the box sailing over the keeper and into the net, doubling her tally for today, and her third in two league games. Slipping in jasmine, Actonians player shakes set up their first. Not long later. Qpr picked up a fifth. Finding the back of the net, and a third for grace Stanley, from an impressive passage of passing play. Worked wonderfully by a large amount of the team. With time running out Actonians got two quick goals. Taking the margin down to only two behind, creating a buzz of belief from the pocket of visiting supporters. Fortune proving too late to grab a point.
