All support welcome to cheer us through to the finals 💙 ❤️

Last weekend saw the Bristol & Best girls take a big win in the league and an important 3 points 🔥 🔥

With only 11 available it was a tremendous effort. Shout out to Dott for playing her first full 90 with us superbly, and Sarah who stepped into goal last minute and kept us in it 💙

Goals: Meels with a superb free kick ⚽️, Lauren / Becky Billing-Deehan ⚽️

GOTG: Was shared by everyone for a superb effort ❤️

TITH: Second week in a row for Caroline Hughes, this time for falling over her own feet in the warm up, on the pitch and sliding down the bank to get the ball cap

A week of rest and focus for the big semi final on Sunday 🏆

Couple of delayed game reports.

First was a frustrating loss to Olveston, where one of our standard draws felt like a fairer outcome. Lots of great experience though ready for our semi final meet this weekend 🔥 🏆

Goals: Becky Billing-Deehan ⚽️, Helen Brain ⚽️ (with a stunning free kick)

GOTG: Sarah Rouse for a collected effort in a congested midfield 💙

TITH: Caroline Hughes with a humiliating missed shot on an open goal 🧢

Bristol & Best are excited for their next run in with Olveston in the semis! 🏆 🏆 🏆
