HT : 1-0

After the disappointment of last week’s defeat , the Ringwood girls had put in a determined effort at training this week hoping to make up for the opening match loss.

As both sides started to test each other out “the woods” defence showed they were not going to beaten easily today. Finally after five minutes Chelsea Schaper latched onto a thru ball after some great build up work by Liv B, B.Tash and Erin Hall in midfield and slammed the opener in the corner of the Monbulk net.
