A good result but it was not a easy game , in the first 5 minutes Railway were on the ropes as Hemsworth pressed hard, forcing some good saves by the Railway Keeper, Emma Prest, and also a off the line clearance from Natasha Martin. Railway held on and found their feet playing out to the right where Hannah Campbell collected the ball took it inside and got her 1st of the day after 11 minutes, 0-1.

 

 

It took only 6 minutes for Hannah to get her second when midfielder Jodi Hodgson put a lovely pass through the middle for Hannah,0-2.

Hemsworth were not going to take these two goals lightly and from the restart they pushed forward and only two minutes later won a penalty for a shove in the back (no arguments there) a well taken penalty put the score 1-2.

It became an end to end game there after with both teams creating chances. Railway came off at half time looking a bit disheartened, but a good chat and with a new formation rail went back out in a better frame of mind.
