With our opponents determined to avenge their early-season defeat and eager to book their place in the final at our expense, we knew this would be a tough battle.

Game Performance & Tactics
From the first whistle, the girls matched Saffron Walden’s intensity and perfectly executed our game plan. Using our pace, movement, and game understanding, we broke down their defensive structure and created dangerous attacking opportunities.
The defensive unit was rock-solid, shutting down their technical players and limiting their chances, while our midfield worked tirelessly to control possession and dictate the tempo. As the game progressed, our tactical discipline and attacking play proved too much for the opposition, and we broke their resolve with two well-taken goals that sealed our place in the final.
This was truly a team victory—every player contributed to this performance, showcasing the determination, resilience, and quality that have defined our journey to the final.
