Five goals and a clean sheet ensure Pride return from Ilkeston with 3 points

The Ladies returned to League action yesterday with a trip to Stanton Ilkeston. Just as the game was getting underway heavy rain started and the pitch was soon both slick on the surface and heavy underfoot.

Despite the conditions Pride made a strong start, with Eliot Sayavong testing the ‚keeper, before twice in quick succession the ‚keeper could only parry Beth Jones’ shots into the path of Summer Evans who converted from close range - but both times Summer had strayed just offside. Nevertheless, it seemed like a goal was coming and it was duly delivered by Tash Allderidge, the skipper scoring direct from a free-kick from the edge of the area with 16 minutes played.

Pride continued to dominate and the only puzzle is how they didn’t add to the score, particularly just after twenty minutes as Beth Jones was through 1v1 on the ‚keeper who blocked Beth’s effort, the ball fell to Hannah Kwiatek - her shot was blocked on the line, then Summer Evans picked uo the rebound, rounded the ‚keeper and saw her shot cleared off the line.

Exquisite through balls by Annie Laight and Hannah Kwiatek put Beth Jones and Summer Evans respectively through, but the keeper held Beth’s shot and tipped Summer’s effort round the post.
The Pride continued to pepper the Stanton goal with shots, with Hannah Kwiatek and Summer Evans drawing saves out of the keeper, and as the first half ended Beth Jones lifted a shot over her only to see it come back off the crossbar.

HALF-TIME: Stanton Ilkeston 0-1 Pride Park

The first half had been dominated by Pride, only to be denied by Stanton’s keeper who was in outstanding form - but Pride picked up where they left off and only three minutes into the second half the keeper could do nothing about Beth Jones’ cannon of a shot from outside the area to make it 2-0.

Five minutes later Tash Allderidge added a third from the spot after Ella Kew had been brought down, and Beth Jones added a fourth as the hour came up, through 1v 1 and slotting the ball wide of the keeper, and completing her hat-trick (her second in successive games) after being played in by a superb pass by Rachel Weaver.

Beth Jones could have had another hat-trick in the second half, prodding one chance just wide, denied at point blank range by another superb save by the ‚keeper after good work down the left by Ella Kew, and shooting just wide after being put through by Eliot Sayavong.

It was pleasing to get a first clean sheet of the season, which had appeared momentarily under threat a couple of times - a moment of indecisiveness at the back giving Stanton a shooting opportunity but it was put wide, and another strike from close range hit wide of the goal, but otherwise the defence wasn’t troubled, although Stanton battled to the end. Overall, it was a commanding performance that was good to watch and a well deserved three points.

FULL TIME: Stanton Ilkeston 0-5 Pride Park

Pride return to Cup action next week, with the 1st Round of the Challenge Cup against Amber Valley at Moorways (1.30pm).
