Slough 8:0 QPR Ladies Reserves

slough8-0qprladiesres

There wasn’t really anything spectacular about Slough. I didn’t feel they had any players who were vastly superior to ours, but what they did have and used very well, was their experience.

qprladies2-1forestgreen

I really liked the way we started the match and thought we looked cool and composed. There was a control about our play and a technical superiority early on that Forest Green struggled to deal with and I sensed right from the start that we had enough in the locker to win the game.
